Executive Director

11/2/2025

Salary Range: $2,000/month (part-time)

The Delaware Sports Museum and Hall of Fame seeks an Executive Director who will bring talent and dedication to a part-time position of high visibility.

The Hall maintains a museum at Frawley Stadium, honors a carefully selected array of new inductees annually at the state’s major sports banquet, and educates the public about the history of sports in Delaware.

The Executive Director works closely with the Board of Governors, particularly its President and Treasurer, and is expected to devote an average of 10 hours per week to the position.

The Executive Director’s skills must include:

  • Strong writing and editing ability.
  • Facility in electronic data and text management, including managing mailing lists and other databases, maintaining a web site, formatting and producing a newsletter and other communications.
  • Willingness to ask for volunteer help, foundation gifts, banquet advertising, and media coverage. 
The Executive Director will be expected to:

  • Manage the maintenance of the physical plant of the museum.
  • Plan and manage the Hall’s annual May banquet.
  • Work on fundraising from membership, the state, foundations and others.
  • See that volunteers staff the museum when it is open.
  • Work with the media for coverage.
  • Attend board meetings and keep board members informed of developments.
  • Work with the Treasurer on prompt deposit of receipts and payment of proper expenses.
  • Maintain regular outreach to members and prospective members.
  • Keep the website current, accurate and attractive.
  • Promptly respond to calls and other requests for information from the public.
  • Help advance visibility of the Hall to community groups.
  • Secure advertising for the souvenir program and steer board members to do likewise.
  • Work with the inductees after they are selected in March through the banquet.
  • Promote the banquet and special events.
The Executive Director will receive pay suitable for a well-qualified part-time director. Because the service is not full-time, we recognize that our candidate may have other activities or sources of income, but the Hall must be given continuous high priority on a weekly basis, and simultaneously when the director is called upon by the board to work on new or unscheduled and pressing business.
