I would like to post the following Ad on behalf of the Calgary Public Library :

 

CALGARY PUBLIC LIBRARY

 

 

NEW CENTURY. NEW CENTRAL LIBRARY. BUILD THE NEXT CHAPTER

 

Chief Executive Officer

 

For 100 years, the Calgary Public Library has reflected the inclusive, pioneering, community spirit of a great and growing City.  The Library has become a source of inspiration, information and engagement for the people of Calgary.  As North America’s sixth most used library, the Calgary Public Library reaches out to serve through evolving virtual spaces and 18 physical locations.  A dedicated team of knowledgeable employees and volunteers make those environments accessible and welcoming places to learn, gather, and find inspiration.  With a new Central Library on the drawing board, this is a tremendous opportunity to redefine what a public library can achieve. 

 

A passionate, change-oriented leader, you will be the champion of the Calgary Public Library as you break ground on a future with limitless possibilities.  This role will require you to create and foster relationships with key stakeholders, funders, community partners and donors.  Working collaboratively with the Library Board and dedicated staff, you will realize a vision that leverages current strengths while building capacity, reputation and reach for the organization.  Here is an opportunity to contribute to important decisions around design, planning, construction and commissioning of the new Central Library.  As Chief Executive Officer, you will encourage dialogue and cultivate positive engagement as you work to expand a supportive and inclusive culture.

 

Whether you are in the private, public or academic sector, you have the credentials and demonstrated capacity to lead.  You embrace the role that a library plays in shaping the very fabric and personality of a city.  You have earned a reputation for gaining the energetic support and respect of a wide range of stakeholders through your commitment, enthusiasm and the results you elicit.  Here is a once-in-a-career chance to think big as you guide this community-builder, connector and gathering place into the next century.
