Chief Advancement Officer Appleby College Oakville, Ontario Chief Advancement Officer Appleby College Oakville, Ontario THE OPPORTUNITY Appleby College is seeking a Chief Advancement Officer to further develop and implement an Advancement strategy that supports Appleby College’s mission and vision. In addition to directing and overseeing all development and alumni activities and staff, the Chief Advancement Officer will play a lead role in stewarding, cultivating and securing major gifts. Reporting to the Principal, the incumbent will serve as a member of Appleby’s senior leadership team. ABOUT APPLEBY COLLEGE Appleby College is a non-profit, independent school located in Oakville on a beautiful 60-acre campus on the shores of Lake Ontario. Founded in 1911, Appleby is a co-educational day and boarding school which offers a university preparatory education for boys and girls in grades 7 through 12. The student population of 750 students, includes approximately 250 boarders and come from nearby communities, from across Canada, and from more than 35 countries around the world, creating a unique learning environment that fosters the development of fascinating minds through sharing diverse cultures and perspectives. Appleby College’s mission is to educate and enable young men and women to become leaders of character, major contributors to, and valued representatives of their local, national and international communities. Our mission, vision, and pillars of strength are woven into every aspect of life at the school, and serve as the foundation for continuous growth and advancement. The curriculum offers an exceptionally diverse education that combines rigorous academics with dynamic arts, athletics, community and global service. Promoting the development of the whole student, there is a blend of academic excellence, athletic achievement, and creative expression with opportunities for leadership and community engagement. Appleby College develops young men and women of personal integrity who are prepared for university, societal change, responsible involvement and leadership in their local, national and global communities. Appleby College is a member of CAIS, CIS, the International Round Square Organisation, and the G20 Schools. The school is accredited by the Canadian Educational Standards Institute. -1- ADVANCEMENT AT APPLEBY COLLEGE The school’s Advancement Office is comprised of eight staff focused on donor relations, alumni and parent relations, major gifts, annual fund and events. The Advancement Office is responsible for overseeing all fundraising activities at the school, including student fundraising for charity. In addition to leading campaign activities and annual, major, and planned giving programs, the Advancement Office coordinates the Gala Auction, the Fine Wine Auction, Appleby Community Golf Classic, and supports the work of volunteers. The Advancement team also meets with alumni, parents, and friends around the world encouraging continued engagement in the school, and cultivating relationships. The Advancement Office raised $9.5 million last year and we aspire to raise $35 – $50 million in the next five years. Recently, Appleby’s successful Promise the Future campaign with a $20 million goal was a landmark campaign in the school’s history, and enabled the school to increase endowment funds, and invest in capital projects including the building of a new library, new dining hall, new technology centre and invest in campus infrastructure that re-routed parking and traffic to create a pedestrian campus. The commitment to offering students an outstanding education is well secured; however excellence comes with a price. Appleby tuition fees are not insignificant; these fees are an investment in students, and are reflected in the programs and opportunities offered at Appleby College. Appleby College is committed to attracting exceptional students first and foremost. An Appleby College education would be out of reach for many were it not for the generosity of donors, and the assistance provided by the Appleby College Foundation. ENGAGING OUR COMMUNITY Community and volunteerism plays an important role at Appleby College. Through an ever-widening circle of friends, parents, faculty and alumni, Appleby College’s community shares a special fellowship and a lifelong connection to the school. The school is fortunate to benefit from the commitment, efforts, and generosity of many great volunteers. In particular, four groups that are significantly involved with the Advancement Office are: The Appleby College Board of Governors is a volunteer board comprised of parents, alumni and alumni parents. There are five standing committees: finance, development, property and governance and risk. The Board’s commitment to supporting the school financially is evidenced by 100% Board participation in giving. The Appleby College Foundation is a registered charity, governed by its own board of trustees, to which endowed funds of $14 million are entrusted to be invested appropriately and disbursed to the school for very specific purposes. The Appleby College Foundation’s endowment provides income that is primarily directed to need-based student financial assistance. Since 1928, the Appleby College Parents’ Association has provided a variety of excellent volunteer opportunities by organizing a variety of friend and fundraising events in conjunction with the school, such as Christmas house tours and the Harvest Colours fall fundraising event. In addition to increasing parent involvement at the school and raising community spirit, the ACPA contributed $1 million to Appleby’s fundraising initiatives over the last 10 years. -2- The Appleby College Alumni Association is committed to fostering and sustaining a lifelong relationship between the School and its alumni. The Alumni Association strives to engage alumni in mutually beneficial ways that support both the school and alumni, and its goals including the following: to foster and promote close interest and involvement of alumni in the life of the School; to support, celebrate and recognize the accomplishments of alumni; to nurture and maintain school friendships; to engage alumni as well-informed ambassadors for the school; to help graduates get jobs; to aid and support the school in all of its endeavours, including being supportive of the school’s philanthropic efforts. IDEAL CANDIDATE A strategic thinker who sees the bigger picture and understands how to put the smaller details in place, the Chief Advancement Officer will bring a systematic approach to developing and implementing an integrated advancement plan and program. The successful candidate will have a proven track record of successfully achieving program and fundraising objectives, and will be confident in his or her professional knowledge, skills, and abilities. Excited about what we’re doing at Appleby in terms of educating young people, the Chief Advancement Officer will be passionate about Appleby’s mission and vision, and will believe strongly in the school’s purpose and values. The ideal candidate will be an experienced leader and professional who will take a long-term view on building a sustainable and effective Advancement program, and will be committed to seeing plans through to fruition over an 8 to 10 year period. An inspiring people leader and manager, the Chief Advancement Officer will be committed to sharing knowledge and developing talent to build an effective, integrated, and accountable Advancement team. Comfortable playing the lead in a staff-driven fundraising model, the successful candidate will also be experienced in teaching and engaging others in prospect identification, cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship. The Chief Advancement Officer will possess exceptional interpersonal and listening skills, and the ability to build rapport and relationships with diverse groups, donors and the community at all levels. The successful candidate will nurture and tend to relationships, both internally and externally, and will work closely with colleagues across the school to develop a greater understanding for and involvement with Advancement activities. Ethical and transparent, the Chief Advancement Officer will possess a depth of experience and calm confidence that will engender trust in others. Collegial and professional, the ideal candidate will have exceptional interpersonal skills and a high level of emotional maturity, and will work skillfully and effectively with and through others. The successful candidate will be a collaborative team player who operates with humility, possesses a natural inclination toward servant leadership, is respectful of all people, and celebrates success inclusively. Straightforward and pragmatic, the Chief Advancement Officer will possess strength and determination coupled with patience and diplomacy. The Chief Advancement Officer will be an attentive listener who seeks input from others, and who will collaborate, navigate, and integrate well into our school community. Curious and interested in others, the ideal candidate will have an engaging personality and will pursue opportunities to authentically interact with others. Given the global reach of our students, parents, and alumni, the successful candidate will be knowledgeable of and experienced with diverse cultures. -3- SPECIFIC ACCOUNTABILITIES In the role of Chief Advancement Officer, the new incumbent will: Further develop and implement an advancement strategy and execution plan in collaboration with the Executive Leadership Team that captures the Appleby opportunity.

Founded in 1939, Royal Winnipeg Ballet holds the distinction of being the first and only ballet company in North America to hold the “Royal” designation and is also one of the oldest ballet companies on the continent. In 1953, RWB received its royal title, the first granted under the reign of Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet first began to tour Canada in 1945; it completed its first American tour in 1954. In 1975, the RWB toured Israel and was the first Canadian ballet to visit the country.

  • For Dance North 2015 | Ffdnorth.Com from Executive Director Madeleine Skoggard
    FFDNORTH.COM September 29 – October 1, 2015 FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR ILTER IBRAHIMOF When I initially floated the idea of starting a Canadian edition of the Fall for Dance™ festival from New York City Center at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, I instinctively knew that the event would be an excellent and game-changing addition to Toronto’s annual performing arts offerings. I am very lucky and grateful that both Mark Hammond and Madeleine Skoggard at the Sony Centre felt the same way. Despite my belief in the project, I could not have imagined the level and spectrum of wonderful support we have received to make the festival a reality. I’d like to thank the entire team at the Sony Centre, the festival’s founding board members and all granting bodies, foundations and individuals who have extended their generosity to us. A highly accessible and diverse arts event, Fall for Dance North is a natural next step in the growth of this great city’s rich dance offerings and the arts community at large. Our mission is to become the signature annual dance festival in Canada and the platform where you discover an exciting and world-class selection of dance styles and artists at an accessible price in an inviting atmosphere. Thank you for being with us tonight! For us, one of the best things that can happen as a result of you experiencing Fall for Dance North is that you will be inspired to see more dance throughout the City of Toronto in the 2015/16 performing arts season that is about to begin.

  • CALGARY February 12–15, 2020 EDMONTON February 21–22, 2020 Mixed Bills Are Always the Most Exciting Moment of the Year for Us
    GEORGE BALANCHINE ANNE PLAMONDON HELEN PICKETT CALGARY February 12–15, 2020 EDMONTON February 21–22, 2020 Mixed bills are always the most exciting moment of the year for us. We get to rediscover our dancers through the eyes of guest choreographers, we also get to see them reveling in contemporary choreographic vernaculars and finally, we have the chance to see dance itself as a more abstract form, free of narrative. Mixed bills are also an opportunity for all of us to participate in the pure creation of new dance forms, thus leaving our mark in history. JEAN GRAND-MAÎTRE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR As with every season, I always enjoy mounting this particular 2002 - PRESENT program as it gives me the chance to challenge you with an – eclectic and contrasting evening of riveting ballets. Tonight, we celebrate the limitless potential of ballet as it will thrice morph into radically different esthetics before your very eyes. George Balanchine’s spectacular Allegro Brillante captures with dynamic panache the very essence of his homeland’s greatest orchestral music. Indeed, like many other one-act ballets he created, these masterworks became his personal tribute to his most beloved composer P.T. Tchaikovsky. It has been performed across the world by hundreds of ballet companies and is considered to be one of the great masterpieces of the 20th century. Helen Pickett is a renowned and accomplished American choreographer with significant international credentials. This Canadian premiere of her sublime Petal marks her first appearance on a Canadian stage, and we are extremely proud to introduce her to our audiences.
