Job Description:

Aspen Leadership Group is proud to partner with Indiana Landmarks in the organization's search for a President and Chief Executive Officer.

Reporting to the Board of Director, the President and Chief Executive Officer will play a crucial role in shaping the future of historic preservation throughout Indiana by leading the largest statewide preservation organization in the United States. As the primary spokesperson for Indiana Landmarks, the President and Chief Executive Officer will cultivate philanthropic support, build strategic alliances with external partners, and engage community stakeholders to ensure the ongoing relevance and vibrancy of Indiana's historic places. By fostering a collaborative culture within the organization, building strong relationships with the Board of Directors, and driving the implementation of a strategic plan that promotes innovative preservation solutions, the President and Chief Executive Officer will ensure operational excellence, helping to sustain and grow Indiana Landmarks' vital role in the state's cultural and economic landscape.

Indiana Landmarks was founded to preserve significant sites for the benefit of present and future generations. The organization's first project, restoration of the Second Empire-style Morris-Butler House in Indianapolis, helped spark revitalization of a neglected neighborhood and set the stage for a ground-breaking and forceful approach to historic preservation. Though the organization's programming has dramatically expanded since then, it remains focused on using preservation as the basis for community revitalization.

Today, Indiana Landmarks is dedicated to saving historic places, believing that restored landmarks can be economic engines that drive property values, promote tourism, and invigorate neighborhoods and business districts. The organization's efforts emphasize adaptive reuse, demonstrating that historic preservation is not only a cultural imperative but also an environmentally and economically responsible choice.

Indiana Landmarks is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit supported by a diverse membership base and guided by a volunteer board. From its state headquarters in Indianapolis's historic Old Northside neighborhood, the organization operates nine regional offices across the state. These offices, staffed by dedicated professionals, provide expertise and resources to help local communities save and repurpose historic sites. Indiana Landmarks' wide-ranging operations include grant and loan programs, rescuing and rehabilitating endangered properties, buying and selling real estate, easement protections, preservation advocacy, and educational initiatives including tours, lectures, workshops, publications, and a major annual conference.

A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and experience and at least 10 years of experience in historic preservation, public policy, and leadership roles is preferred for this position. Indiana Landmarks will consider candidates with a broad range of backgrounds.
