INDIANA UNIVERSITY
SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS
Dear Mr. Allen:
Enclosed is an announcement for the position of the Executive Director
of the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy. We are hoping that the new
IUPUI
director will take office on July 1, 1997 and would like to enlist your support
and assistance in identifying candidates for the position.
The Center on Philanthropy came into being in 1987 and has developed
since then to serve both the scholarly community and the needs of practitioners
and to place an emphasis in its programs on the ethics and values of
philanthropy, both nationally and internationally. It has a strong academic base
within the university and has developed six academic degree programs,
including an MA in Philanthropic Studies and the nationally ranked MPA with a
non-profit concentration.
This is a challenging opportunity that is of paramount importance, both
to Indiana University and to the study of philanthropy, and we are eager to
attract qualified candidates from throughout the academic and philanthropic
communities. The person who is appointed to this position will lead what is
perhaps the most comprehensive center of its kind in the United States. If you
know of anyone who is interested, please pass this enclosed notice on to him or
her; and if you are interested -- or have any questions -- please feel free to call
Mr. Malcolm McKay at Russell Reynolds Associates (212) 351-2000 or me.
Sincerely,

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
INDIANA UNIVERSITY
CENTER ON PHILANTHROPY
The Indiana University Center on Philanthropy seeks an Executive Director, the
appointment to be effective on July 1, 1997. The Center is a comprehensive teaching,
research and public service unit with aspirations to intellectual leadership nationally and
internationally of the philanthropic sector. The Center is located in the School of Liberal
Arts at the Indianapolis campus (IUPUI) of Indiana University, but with participation and
activities at all eight campuses of the University. The goals of the Center, both in its
academic programs and in its service commitments, are to increase understanding of the
traditions and practices of philanthropy, including fundraising, giving, voluntary service,
and voluntary association. Two distinctive features of the Center are its emphasis in all of
its programs on ethics and values and in trying to address the needs of scholars and
practitioners alike. The Center's academic mission is carried out by an interdisciplinary
faculty of more than forty members and involves an extensive publications and conference
program. The Center has many field projects, both in the United States and abroad, and
through The Fund Raising School and the Advanced Grantmakers Institute addresses the
professional needs of the development and grant-making communities. Its six academic
degree programs include an innovative MA in Philanthropic Studies. The Center is served
by forty staff members, as well as the Payton Philanthropic Studies Library and Archives.
The Center is currently supported primarily by foundation grants and plans to increase and
diversify its funding in the immediate future.
The Executive Director should have a demonstrated commitment to the mission of
the Center, experience relevant to the intellectual work of the Center, and demonstrated
leadership abilities and experience, especially in fundraising and management, relevant to
the continued development of the Center. Credentials for an academic appointment are
desirable but not required, but all candidates should have a demonstrable record of
experience with academic programs and an understanding and familiarity with the
characteristics of a large state university.
Nominations may be sent to:

Dear Shirley:
As the saying goes: "when you are looking for a job, you should let everyone know."
And, as my friend, I hope you will assist me with my new job search. I have now returned
from Chicago where I served for the past year and a half as Deputy CEO for the
Democratic National Convention.
I am seeking a senior management position in either the private or public sector, utilizing
my extensive expertise with staff supervision, organizational management, political
campaign experience, financial management and communication skills. As you may
remember, my credentials include superior employee relations and proven experience in
personnel supervision. Both my career and education have been geared toward dealing
with people from a variety of backgrounds, as well as working closely and effectively with
other senior management.
i have enclosed my resume for your review, as well as an article from the National
Journal. If you know of any opportunities or openings, I hope you will forward my
resume. Any suggestions or ideas you have would be most valuable. I may be reached at
the address and phone number above.
Thank you so much for all your help, time and consideration.
\
Sincerely,
James Janet V. Green
Congrets on - your changes
miss you Love.
