Santa Rosa Symphony (SRS) is one of the Bay Area’s leading nonprofit performing arts organizations. With a $6 million operating budget, SRS presents over 40 performances along with a robust portfolio of music education programs–offered through its Institute for Music Education (IME)–that inspire and engage 50,000+ people each season. A key member of SRS's senior management team, the Director of Education & Community Engagement provides strategic leadership and overall direction for the IME and its comprehensive portfolio of education and community engagement programs. The Director establishes departmental vision, priorities, goals, and standards; leads long-range planning and program development; oversees departmental financial and administrative performance; and ensures the quality, impact, and continued evolution of SRS's education and community engagement initiatives.

The Director leads a team of talented administrators responsible for major IME programmatic areas, and empowers these administrators to oversee the day-to-day planning, administration, and delivery of programs within their respective portfolios. The Director provides coaching, guidance, accountability, and coordination across these areas while maintaining overall responsibility for departmental outcomes.

The Director of Education & Community Engagement will also represent SRS with other arts, education, and civic organizations to promote effective working partnerships in the community.
