OSFA is Hiring!
Half-Time Community Preservation Advocate
Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until December 1, 2024.

The Old Santa Fe Association (OSFA) seeks a Community Preservation Advocate in a half time capacity (average of 20 hours/week). The position is salaried and hours are variable depending on the week. The Community Preservation Advocate works with the Executive Director and would be expected to take a hand in leadership of the organization. The position would begin on or before January 1, 2025.
 
OSFA does not maintain a physical office, so this position is largely work-from-home, with weekly meetings in Santa Fe. 
 
Since 1926, OSFA has worked to preserve the historic communities, neighborhoods, buildings, and traditions that maintain Santa Fe’s distinctive character. OSFA played a key role in the establishment of the historic preservation ordinance in 1957. Today, OSFA operates in three different areas: historic preservation advocacy, history education, and preservation-minded community service. Learn more at www.oldsantafe.org.
 
Duties include:

• Meet with local leaders, nonprofits, and community & neighborhood groups;
• Plan, promote and coordinate history education events & community service projects;
• Attend board meetings and coordinate internal and ad hoc committees;
• Attend government meetings that address OSFA concerns and positions;
• Help promote the association and fundraise.

 
Useful assets:

• Communication skills, including public speaking;
• Knowledge of Santa Fe history, architecture, cultural politics;
• Understanding of local government, particularly land use processes;
• Computer, design, and social media experience a plus.

 
The Community Advocate reports to the OSFA Executive Committee and the Executive Director, working with the board, officers, and staff on various tasks.
 
The salary range for this half time position is $30,000-$35,000.

The Old Santa Fe Association is the premier historic preservation organization of the southwestern United States of America. We were founded in 1926 by a group of like-minded residents, artists, writers and architects, in an attempt to protect the unique flavor, built environment and culture of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

As we approach our centennial as an organization we continue to be
guided by a volunteer board comprised once again
of artists, writers, architects and law professionals along with a diverse
representation of our special community.
