Director of Advancement
The Lycée Français de Chicago has provided a world-class education to French, American and international students since 1995. As the only dual-language pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade school in the Midwest, the Lycée enjoys a reputation of excellence and an impressive track record of student achievement. Construction of a new multi-million dollar campus – scheduled to be completed in 2015 – and steadily increasing student enrollment only heighten the excitement surrounding this remarkable school.
The Lycée seeks an energetic and experienced fundraising professional to serve as its next Director of Advancement. As the chief development officer, the director will work in partnership with President, Board, staff and volunteers to provide vision and direction for the entire advancement operation with the goal of taking the program and the school to the next level. The Lycée is in the silent phase of a

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with a deep appreciation for and sensitivity to cultural differences and priorities; bi-lingual capabilities are a plus. A dedication to developing a culture of philanthropy with existing donors and prospects, as well as among extended family members, is a must. The new director should have a commitment to increasing the visibility of the school in Chicago, including an intentional plan for connecting with French, European, and international corporations and individuals.
Minimum requirements for this position include:
• At least seven years of progressive and broad development experience, including significant knowledge of annual, major, and planned gifts fundraising
• Experience in leading or planning and implementing a capital campaign
