Credo Music Executive Director

For nearly 25 years, Credo Music has brought together classical music professionals who work to educate and inspire talented young musicians to DEVELOP their gift of music, to ACKNOWLEDGE that their gift is from God, and then to RESPOND with joyous and energetic service to their community. Credo is now looking for an Executive Director (ED) who will work alongside Artistic Director (AD) Peter Slowik in implementing Credo’s vision for the next chapter of this exciting ministry.

While the AD will continue to be responsible for all artistic functions, the new ED will be ultimately responsible for all administrative functions of Credo, including the broad areas of finance, the operational support to Credo’s programming, and, importantly, fundraising. Together they will guide the organization toward continued alignment with Christian principles (Philippians 4:8).

The ED’s responsibility for administrative functions will include annual budgeting (through collaboration with the AD), and sole responsibility for financial accounting and reporting, the annual audit, human resource management, and then all advancement functions, including promotion and marketing, national community engagement, and fundraising. The board envisions the ED having a small staff, and also having the option to outsource certain administration functions depending on capacity (e.g., the finance area is currently managed externally, and the board would support the continuance of this practice). Importantly, the board expects the ED to lead fundraising directly, increasing Credo’s philanthropic base as Credo transitions into a national movement. Toward this end, the ED will lead personally, and also engage the board and others around the country in identifying, cultivating and soliciting donors for annual, endowed, and planned gifts. The ED will ensure that all gifts are subject to high standards of cultivation, acknowledgement, stewardship, and proper gift accounting.
