Budget Question #043: Could I receive a memo on the cost for an Assistant Director for the Black History Museum ? (Councilman Chapman)
Response:
Under the current Office of Historic Alexandria (OHA) organization structure, the Alexandria Black History Museum has a budgeted Assistant Director position. This position is budgeted at approximately $99,000 for salary and benefits in FY 2022 and is currently vacant as OHA is in the process of a reorganization.
OHA is seeking to implement a revised organizational structure to fulfill its expanding role within City government, leverage its human resources and talent in a way that best serves the community, and meet the evolving expectations of the museum field. The proposed structure includes a new African American History (AAH) division with an Assistant Director of Alexandria African American History. This position’s proposed classification is currently in the process of Human Resources review.
Critical to the strategic direction of OHA, the division’s mission is to infuse Alexandria’s vital and vibrant African American history throughout all OHA museums and sites, exhibitions, public programs, and external communications including publications, social media, City memorials, and wayfinding signage.
