Public speaking will be necessary to train docents and to orient volunteers, and to explain our programs to Museum visitors and oversee our Tour programs.

E-mail interaction (even on your days off) will be necessary. Must be able to write well and efficiently.

Must be neat, organized, and encourage these qualities in all the volunteers and other co-workers as we work as a team. Must be proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel. Preferred abilities: Filemaker Pro, Facebook, Wikipages, iPhoto. Will be working primarily on a Mac. Familiarity with basic hand tools. An appreciation and respect for old things. Enthusiasm and an ability to think "outside the box" to solve problems. You may be requested to go to hardware stores and pick up supplies and equipment.
