Contract services are sought to perform the following tasks as Interim Director (ID) during this period.

Services Contract Scope:

Volunteer Program Management – (35% of effort)
While the bulk of volunteer recruitment and training will be complete by April 1st, the ID will continue any recruitment and training tasks and assume on-going responsibility for volunteer scheduling (Interpretive Center operations, lighthouse and park tours, virtual reality viewing, special events, etc).

Interpretive Center (IC) Operations – (30%)
Merchandise purchasing for the season will be substantially complete, but the ID will monitor sales patterns and stocking levels to replenish merchandise through the season.
