The Center for Arts and Innovation (The Center) will serve as a
vibrant, world-class cultural facility for innovation, education,
business, and community. Located in Mizner Park – the heart of
downtown Boca Raton, FL – the completed facility will have national
impact and become one of the first truly 21st century creative
campuses. The Center will serve as a dynamic, innovative, and
vibrant fulcrum for artists, organizations, businesses,
institutions, students, creative entrepreneurs, and the public at
large. To design The Center’s innovative spaces, the organization
has selected Renzo Piano Building Workshop as its architecture
firm, founded by internationally renowned architect Renzo Piano, an
internationally acclaimed architect and 1998 Pritzker Prize winner
known for creating The Centre Pompidou, The Shard, The Whitney
Museum of American Art, the New York Times Building, and many other
landmark projects around the world.

 

The Center is preparing to embark on a comprehensive campaign
with the vision of funding, constructing, and operating The Center
within five years. In fulfillment of this vision, the organization
has partnered with philanthropic consultants to design the
structure, objectives, and plan of the campaign while it secures
the position of the Chief Development Officer and other development
staff.

 

During this exciting and unprecedented formative period, The
Center seeks an entrepreneurial, passionate, and enterprising
leader to serve as the inaugural Chief Development Officer (CDO).
The CDO will serve as an integral leader for The Center – today and
in its future – with responsibility for implementing a dynamic
strategic plan for the comprehensive campaign. S/he will partner
with The Center’s fundraising counsel and consultants on campaign
planning, prospect identification and solicitation, fundraising
communications, fundraising strategies, staff direction, campaign
planning, and reporting to the Board of Directors.

 

The CDO will report to the Chair and CEO and manage a team of
three (3) professionals: Director of Engagement and Stewardship,
Director of Donor Development, and Development Coordinator. S/he
will partner with the Chair and CEO to identify, recruit, and
engage members of The Center’s Campaign Committee (known as the
Vanguards) and will collaborate closely with the Chief Marketing
Officer to establish The Center’s Communication and Marketing Plan
and ensure its implementation. The CDO will also work closely with
the CFO to manage costs and establish budgets for the Development
function.
