Benefits: Health Insurance, 401k with 4% match, PTO
Location: Vancouver, WA with travel along the Columbia River.
Work Environment: Hybrid work environment. Executive Director needs to be located in the Confluence Service Area.

About Confluence: Confluence is a community-supported nonprofit with the mission to connect people to the history, living cultures and ecology of the Columbia River system through Indigenous voices. It began in the early 2000’s in response to the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial as a way to connect people with the Indigenous side of American history. Tribal leaders along the Columbia River saw the Bicentennial as an opportunity to dispel myths about Native Americans and to strengthen the Tribal perspective in the popular narrative of American history.

Meanwhile, Confluence’s dynamic founding Executive Director Jane Jacobsen wanted to build reminders of this history into the landscape through art installations. The founders of Confluence invited the celebrated artist Maya Lin to build a series of projects along the Columbia River. The result is five completed arts landscapes that stretch from the coast to eastern Washington. The final project remains on hold. Over the years, Confluence’s mission evolved into a focus on education for students and the wider public. Today, Confluence brings Indigenous artists into schools, organizes public events that elevate Native voices, and creates media and publications with Tribal perspectives.  

Confluence is now looking for its next Executive Director to lead its next chapter. This is an amazing opportunity to build on a legacy of Tribal partnerships and find new and more expansive ways to elevate Indigenous voices in our collective understanding of America.

Job Summary: The Confluence Board of Directors and its community of partners seek a visionary diplomat to lead Confluence’s mission and vision. We are looking for someone with a deep understanding of Indigenous American history and an enthusiasm to learn more from the Columbia River’s Native culture bearers of today. Qualities and qualifications include:

• Experience with and knowledge of Columbia River Indigenous Tribes
• Patient collaboration

About the Lane County History Museum:
The Lane County History Museum was founded in 1951, specifically to preserve and interpret the history of the pioneer generation.
