How to Post a Position Listing
NEW! MANY Position Listings Now Online!
Need to list a position quickly? Want to list for a short amount
of time…or maybe for several months? Want to be in control of when
to list?
To serve you better, MANY has shifted its entire position listing
program from its monthly e-newsletter format to its website under
Career HQ.
Here’s what you need to know:
- To be listed, jobs must be museum, culture, or humanities
related.
- Using our template, you create the job listing.
- You select the length of time the listing will appear on the
website.
- You pay for the listing with a credit card at the time you
submit it. If you do not have a credit card, select INVOICE
and we will send you an invoice by email for snail mail.
- New job listings are usually posted on MANY's web site immediately.

The Northeast

products that address the training needs of archivists, librarians,
and museum and historical society professionals. The free, online

Endowment for the Humanities for NEDCC's Field Service program. NEDCC
is grateful to the many project partners and participants who helped
develop these products.

Preservation Education Curriculum
is an instructor's guide for a semester-long preservation course for
graduate programs in librarianship and archives. It includes 13
detailed lesson plans with activities, assignments, and readings, as
well as an online image library to help illustrate each lesson. The
balance of topics represents consensus among a national advisory
committee of preservation experts and educators:

The
Coordinated Statewide Emergency Preparedness
(COSTEP) framework is a cooperative planning process for area-wide
disasters that brings together state agencies, cultural

Compensating
Museum Management and Staff: What is Fair and Reasonable?
Download this report by Lawrence Associates, which was
presented at this year's Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums
conference in Philadelphia. The report explores the human
resource challenges facing museums and historical
organizations in the mid-Atlantic region in the coming years;
discusses practices related to employee compensation and
non-monetary recognition; and provides some useful direction
when thinking about executive compensation.
Lawrence

A helpful resource for
crafting/revising personnel policies is Creating Your
Employee Handbook: A Do-it-Yourself Kit for Non-Profits by
Leyna Bernstein, published by Jossey-Bass. The book offers 3
versions of each policy: the Creative Approach, primarily for
small or informal organizations; the By-the-Book Approach, for
mid-sized or traditional agencies; and the Leading-Edge Approach,
for large or progressive institutions.
It comes with sample policies on
disk to make it easy to edit to fit your organization. It also has
an index of state-specific policies and includes good suggestions
on formatting the handbook.
You will still want legal counsel
to review your policies, but this book helps get the right
philosophies and words down on paper. It costs about $55.
Daring to
Lead: Nonprofit Executive Directors and Their Work
Experience is a report published by
CompassPoint Nonprofit Services (August 2001) that examines
professional experience, compensation, tenure trends, and
executive training and support. The data is based on the
responses of more than 1,000 executive directors from around the
country. Among the key findings:
* Women
substantially outnumber men in nonprofit executive director
positions -- in most regions they make up 60% or more of the
population; men disproportionately lead large agencies.
* Women
executives are paid less than their male counterparts for the same
jobs, with the differential being especially acute among large
agencies.
* Despite
enjoying their work and reporting to be very skilled at it, fewer
than half of current executives plan to take on another executive
director role.
* The most
significant challenges are high stress, long hours, anxiety about
agency finances, fundraising, and managing people.
* Boards have an
impact on executive tenure and satisfaction and on agency success.
Help with board development was requested by 23% of the
respondents.
This 46-page
report is available at:
