aims to inspire everyone who attends our campus – artists, leaders, and thinkers – to unleash their creative potential.
We acknowledge, with deep respect and gratitude, our home on the side of Sacred Buffalo Guardian Mountain. In the spirit of respect and truth, we honour and acknowledge the Banff area, known as “Minhrpa” (translated in Stoney Nakoda as “the waterfalls”) and the Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda) – comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney Nations – as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Shuswap Nations, Ktunaxa Nations, and Metis Nation of Alberta, Rockyview District 4. We acknowledge all Nations who live, work, and play, help us steward this land, and honour and celebrate this place.
The Opportunity
Cultural Leadership is one of two core leadership programming areas: Indigenous Leadership and Cultural Leadership. The incumbent will work closely with the Director of Indigenous Leadership, with the other Arts disciplines at the Centre, and with the Executive Director, Leadership, to plan and design specific portfolio programs, but also cross-disciplinary programs where appropriate.
The incumbent will work closely with the Banff Centre operations and administrative teams to ensure that the innovative cultural leadership programs for mid-career and established leaders are delivered at the highest possible level. Banff Centre leadership programs seek to create an environment within which leaders can explore and push leadership and innovative boundaries, develop new organizational skills and competencies, and develop both personally and professionally.
The programs need to find a balance between personal growth and development of the leader (values led leadership, cultural exchange and diplomacy, diversity, equity, empathy and collaboration), and organizational development and design thinking (strategic planning, change management, government relations, marketing and audience development, digital transformation in culture) in order to ensure that the modules directly translate to actionable behaviors once program participants return to their regular roles in organizations or communities.
Excellent knowledge of arts and cultural leadership practice and education is essential. A professional network of contacts within arts and culture communities in Canada and internationally is also essential, along with a deep understanding of professional development at the post-secondary level and beyond. The success of the programs rests on the ability of the incumbent to attract a roster of exceptional, sessional leadership faculty and to attract high-quality applicants to the programs.
