About the Garden
Botanical Garden of the Ozarks (BGO) opened in October 2007.  The first 
phase of garden construction, consisting of nine themed gardens and a 
timber-frame multipurpose building, constitutes around 8 acres of almost 
90 acres available for development.  The aesthetic of the Garden reflects 
the unique natural and cultural heritage of the Ozarks.  From the start, 
BGO has focused on children?s educational programming.  In 2008, we 
welcomed 30,000 visitors, 165 volunteers, and 1,300 members.  BGO is 
operated by a non-profit organization, the Botanical Garden Society of the 
Ozarks.  BGO currently employs six full-time staff members and an interim 
executive director, who serves as a volunteer.
 
About the Job
The director will develop sources of financial support for the Garden, act 
as a liaison between Board and staff, and develop a roadmap for further 
Garden development.   A successful candidate will be an effective 
communicator, an experienced fundraiser, and an efficient manager.  This 
is an opportunity for an energetic, charismatic individual to shape the 
future of a growing garden.
Requirements:
A bachelor?s degree and an advanced degree or equivalent experience.
At least 4 years of experience in non-profit administration, preferably in 
public horticulture. 
Strong management and proven fundraising skills. 
Outstanding communication skills, including writing and public speaking.
