About the Organization

Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) is the regional, nonprofit, historic preservation organization for the Adirondack Park, with a mission to further better public understanding, appreciation and stewardship of the Adirondacks' architectural heritage, communities, and historic sites through education, advocacy, technical assistance, and direct action.  

AARCH's regular activities include: sponsoring a series of summer and fall tours to historic places throughout the region; holding workshops and conferences; giving educational slide presentations; publishing a biannual Newsletter; and providing technical assistance to homeowners, municipalities, businesses and other organizations.  AARCH seeks to find solutions for endangered historic and architectural resources and, for example, was largely responsible for getting the state to change its twenty- year policy of neglect toward Camp Santanoni, a National Historic Landmark, in the Town of Newcomb.  Since then AARCH has overseen planning work, ongoing restoration, and a summer interpretive program there through the Friends of Camp Santanoni.  AARCH has also sought to ensure a future for Adirondack fire towers by nominating them to the National Register of Historic Places and by sponsoring and supporting four fire tower preservation projects, the Friends of Poke-O-Moonshine, the Friends of Mt. Arab, Azure Mountain Friends, and the Friends of Bald Mountain.   

AARCH also has a small publishing program, which seeks to publish books and other materials related to the region’s architectural history and legacy. In 2000, AARCH published Santanoni: From Japanese Temple to Life at an Adirondack Great Camp by Rob Engel, Paul Malo and Howie Kirschenbaum. In 2006, AARCH published Adirondack Churches: A History of Design and Building by Sally E. Svenson. 

AARCH also maintains a growing resource center at its office in Keeseville. The collection includes books, other publications, clippings, correspondence and other printed material, photographs, and a collection of more than 5000 slides. The focus of the collection is materials that relate to the region's architectural heritage, to the study of architectural history, in general, to historic preservation, and on resources on local and regional history. These materials are used by AARCH staff for research, for planning public educational events, for publications, and for providing information to members and others researchers.

AARCH is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit corporation and a registered New York State charitable institution. For more information, see our website www.aarch.org

College of Design, University of Minnesota
Tenured/Tenure-Track Position in Heritage Preservation

The College of Design at the University of Minnesota invites applications and nominations for a tenured or tenure-track position in Heritage Preservation, rank open, to begin Fall Semester 2008. The successful candidate will contribute to shaping the University of Minnesota’s newly established M.S. in Architecture-Heritage Conservation and Preservation and have the opportunity to participate in its Center for World Heritage Studies. The successful candidate will have a record of teaching, research, and/or practice connected with heritage preservation and a terminal professional degree or a Ph.D. in a related field, including (but not limited to) Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Architectural or Landscape History, Planning, Public History, Cultural Studies, Geography, Anthropology, Archaeology or Historic Preservation.
The M.S. in Architecture-Heritage Conservation and Preservation will offer an interdisciplinary approach, expansive vision, and global perspective. Through fieldwork, case studies and courses that examine regional, national and global heritage, the program will focus on the philosophy, policy, technology and methods involved in the interpretation and conservation of buildings and landscapes within their varying cultural contexts. The academic program is complemented by the activities of the Center for World Heritage Studies, which has a unique cooperative agreement with UNESCO’s World Heritage Center. This partnership links regional and national historic preservation agencies, global policy development and law, and heritage conservation practices through an exchange of faculty expertise and student education and research related to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (most recently in Azerbaijan, the Philippines, and China).
We are seeking candidates who can situate heritage preservation as an academic discipline in the context of a design college and a research university. The candidate’s own field of research is open; it may be based in heritage-related issues grounded in the candidate’s discipline, or it may address contemporary or emerging challenges (globalization, cultural and ecological sustainability, politics, the impacts of tourism, as well as tangible and intangible relationships to changing cultural landscapes). We are especially interested in candidates who bring a broad cultural and global perspective to the field and whose work poses probing questions concerning the implications of preservation practice and research as well as its methods and policies.
Responsibilities will include developing and teaching graduate and undergraduate courses related to the candidate’s specialization; scholarship and/or creative work in the field; pursuing external funding and partnerships in support of research and education; and participating in faculty governance at the department, college and university levels.
The position will be based in the College of Design, a newly founded college that builds upon the University of Minnesota’s strong tradition of excellence in design education and research. By joining together a full range of design disciplines and forging connections within the University and beyond, the new College of Design promotes work that is
interdisciplinary, sustainable, and publicly engaged. The College offers rich opportunities for research and public engagement through its highly regarded research and outreach centers, including the Metropolitan Design Center, the Center for Sustainable Building Research, and the Goldstein Museum of Design, as well as the Center for World Heritage Studies. More information about the College of Design may be found at www.design.umn.edu . As a leading research institution, the University of Minnesota supports a broad range of disciplines and research centers related to heritage preservation, including anthropology, art history, American studies, cultural studies, geography, the Humphrey Institute for Public Policy, the Institute for the Environment, and the Institute for Advanced Studies. See www.umn.edu.
The position is a 100%-time, nine-month appointment. Faculty rank will depend upon the qualifications and experience of the candidate, with the possibility of tenure at the associate or full professor level. Tenure at the time of hire requires a record of excellence and productivity that merits tenure consistent with the College of Design and University of Minnesota policy. The appointment will be in a College of Design unit, determined as appropriate to the successful candidate’s interests and qualifications. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. The desired starting date is August 25, 2008.
Required qualifications
For all ranks:
•Terminal professional degree or Ph.D. in a field related to heritage preservation.
•Record of achievement and excellence (teaching, scholarship, and/or practice) related to heritage preservation.
•Commitment to disciplinary and interdisciplinary teaching, research/creative production, public engagement, and service.
•Clearly defined agenda for teaching and scholarship.
•Commitment to cultural diversity in teaching and scholarship.
For a rank other than assistant professor, qualifications include those listed above plus a significant record of distinction in scholarship, practice, and/or professional experience in historic preservation or a combination thereof.

•Experience working collaboratively across disciplinary boundaries in teaching research, and/or practice.

POSITION DESCRIPTION:  EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 
ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND 
The Providence Preservation Society (PPS), founded in 1956, is a 501(c) (3) membership organization whose mission is to improve the city of Providence for the people who live and work here through historic preservation and enhancement of the built environment.  
PPS works city-wide advocating for the restoration, sensitive rehabilitation, and sustainable use of historic buildings and neighborhoods, and for well-designed contemporary architecture so that new construction enhances the physical and social city. It is actively engaged in matters of planning and public policy affecting the urbanity of civic life.  It believes that, together, people and place define a city’s success. 
PPS creates, administers, and offers in partnership with others educational programs informing the public about Providence’s rich architectural environment.  PPS’s heritage education program is multi-faceted.  As examples, it reaches 3,000 public and independent school students annually with a field-based touring program; presents yearly training sessions for realtors; publishes a newsletter; has developed an e-news feature; implements a citywide marker program; sponsored production of the award-winning PPS/AIAri Guide to Providence Architecture; and recently instituted gatherings for Young Preservationists.
Activist public advocacy is a long-standing hallmark of the organization.  It accomplishes its preservation policy work through formal efforts such as the Most Endangered Properties Program and an associated traveling photography and oral history exhibit; annual preservation awards; and through direct promotion of preservation’s benefits to the community and to elected and appointed officials at city, state, and federal levels. 
Additionally, for many years, PPS has had an effective Planning and Architectural Review Committee whose mission, in concert with the Board, is to influence city planning and zoning initiatives and property development affecting historic areas, including downtown.  Commissioning cultural resource surveys and with other advocacy opportunities, PPS documents and protects a wide variety of neighborhoods and building types. 
The annual PPS Festival of Historic Houses celebrates the architectural heritage and success of preservation efforts across the city.  During Festival tours, PPS highlights individual and corporate activities that demonstrate sensitive preservation and careful stewardship of special places.  The Festival is a nationally-recognized event that attracts thousands from throughout the region; it is also a major fundraiser for the Society.  PPS currently produces other events, including a Fall fundraiser, a Holiday Festival in early December; an annual Winter Bash showcasing an historic industrial property; and the Annual Meeting, at which the organization conducts its business and distributes preservation awards. 
PPS collaborates with a wide variety of people and organizations, including neighborhoods, statewide advocacy groups, and state and local regulatory agencies. 
PPS has a 36-member Board of Trustees and a staff of four.  The organization operates out of an eighteenth-century building jointly owned by PPS and the Junior League of Rhode Island.  PPS has an operating budget of approximately $500,000, an endowment of approximately $1.2 million, and a membership of approximately 700.  More than 200 volunteers annually assist in the work of the Society. 
In the last three years, the organization has successfully restored ties to its traditional East Side base and forged more productive collaborations in revitalizing neighborhoods on Providence’s West and South sides while also mounting a successful capital campaign with a goal to double the endowment.  In the last two and a half years PPS has effectively tripled its resources.

THE POSITION 
The Executive Director reports to and works closely with the Board of Trustees and serves as chief executive and public spokesperson for the organization.  S/he has broad decision-making authority, implementing plans and programs in accordance with policies formulated jointly with the staff and board; as well as managing and coordinating the Society’s operations, finances, staff, and development activities. 
The Executive Director is responsible for conceptualizing, implementing, and directing the membership program and all fundraising efforts of the organization, and nurturing Trustee support. 
A primary role of the Executive Director is as advocate and spokesperson for preservation principles and to represent PPS and its mission and goals to public and private concerns.  S/he is the chief liaison with governmental officials at all levels and the public, and is expected to be an active and visible presence in the community. 
The Executive Director interacts with the President on a regular basis, reviewing progress toward achieving objectives and seeking guidance on complex issues.  S/he also proposes and responds to questions concerning new initiatives and, in general, keeps the board fully informed about and involved in the organization’s activities. 
Specific responsibilities of the Executive Director include:

In the performance of these responsibilities, the Executive Director shall:

Qualifications:
The successful candidate will have:

It is strongly recommended, although not mandatory, that the Executive Director be a resident of the city.
 Compensation

The compensation package for this position will include a salary commensurate with skills and experience, with financial incentives for performance, paid vacation time, and preferred-provider health insurance paid by the employer.  This is a full-time, exempt position.  
PROVIDENCE PROFILE 
Providence, the capital city of Rhode Island, has a population of about 180,000.  Because of a high concentration of arts, cultural, and educational institutions, the city has tremendous aesthetic and cultural opportunities, as well as a large number of non-profit organizations. 
The city is defined by a strong-mayor form of government, with a ward-based city council.  Three design review committees oversee various parts of the city: the local historic districts, Downcity (the historic downtown), and Capital Center, the area made vacant by the relocation of the railroads and the Woonasquatucket River.  Additional design review opportunities have been made available by the upcoming relocation of Interstate 195 and other one-time public policy initiatives. 
Providence has long had a strong commitment to historic preservation; it continues today.  Current challenges stem from the discovery of the city by out-of-state developers and chain-retail corporations.  Coupled with a very high property tax rate and persistent need to increase the tax base, this fairly recent phenomenon requires close monitoring and advocacy by PPS to ensure that appropriate development is realized throughout the city.  
Providence has evolved over the last 20 years into a desirable, walkable city with international cachet, in large measure because of the work of the Providence Preservation Society and its sister organization, the Revolving Fund.  The city enjoys an unparalleled collection of historic buildings and public spaces dating from the early 18th century to the present, with 30 National Register districts within its boundaries.  Rhode Island has the highest concentration of National Register-listed properties in the country.

Preference shall be given to certain veterans and spouses of veterans as

Position Background:
On June 9, 1998 the President of the United States signed into law PL
105-178, The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). This
law called for a streamlined approach for conducting transportation
corridor project reviews as required by the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. In response, the State of Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT), working with the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and other Federal, State, and Local agencies,
developed a refined and improved methodology for effecting transportation
decisions while complying with all Federal and State environmental
regulations. Known as the Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM)
Process, this program is now part of the Florida Environmental Streamlining
Program and serves a major role in how Florida’s current and future
transportation needs are being met. Continuing on the foundations
established with TEA-21, on August 10, 2005 the President signed a $285
billion surface transportation reauthorization bill, known as SAFETEA-LU
(Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy
for Users). The law includes about $3.25 billion in funding for

Position Background:

On June 9, 1998 the President of the United States signed into law PL 105-178, The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). This law called for a streamlined approach for conducting transportation corridor project reviews as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. In response, the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), working with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and other Federal, State, and Local agencies, developed a refined and improved methodology for effecting transportation decisions while complying with all Federal and State environmental regulations. Known as the Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) Process, this program is now part of the Florida Environmental Streamlining Program and serves a major role in how Florida’s current and future transportation needs are being met. Continuing on the foundations established with TEA-21, on August 10, 2005 the President signed a $285 billion surface transportation reauthorization bill, known as SAFETEA-LU (Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users). The law includes about $3.25 billion in funding for transportation enhancements over the next five years and provides funding to continue building upon the foundations created with TEA-21 and the Florida ETDM Process.

In a committed effort to support this program, the Florida State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) agreed to several measures to facilitate the effectiveness of the ETDM Process. These measures include, but are not limited to: supplementing its existing staff in the Tallahassee office, which currently processes FDOT projects on a routine basis, with qualified project review specialists; and providing expedited project coordination, technical assistance and document review pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and 36 CFR Part 800 to satisfy requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and Chapter 267, Florida Statutes.

As part of the ETDM Process, increased funding is available to add an additional staff position in the Florida SHPO Transportation Compliance Review Program. The available position will be filled as an Other Personnel Services (OPS) position with no benefits package. The successful candidate for this position will fulfill the role of ETDM project reviewer for the Florida State Historic Preservation Office and will augment an existing staff of two historic Preservation professionals in this program. In the spirit of environmental streamlining in the ETDM Process, the successful candidate will be required to complete project reviews expeditiously to meet established review periods.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

It is essential that the incumbent for this position clearly demonstrate that they meet or exceed the Professional Qualifications Standards as stipulated in 36 CFR Part 61 (“Procedures for Approved State and Local Government Historic Preservation Programs”) in their respective field and possess an understanding of historic preservation programs and processes. In addition to these requirements, the incumbent should have the following skills:
