MODA's mission is to advance the understanding and appreciation of design as the convergence of creativity and functionality through exhibitions, education, and programming for visitors of all ages.

We pursue our mission because we envision a world that celebrates design as a creative force that inspires change, transforms lives, and makes the world a better place.

Our work is structured by two questions:
1) What is the museum of the 21st century?
2) Can a design museum change the world?

For more information, please MODA’s website at www.museumofdesign.org

The Board supports MODA's work and provides mission-based leadership and strategic governance. While day-to-day operations are led by MODA’s Executive Director (ED), the Board-Executive Director relationship is a partnership, and the appropriate involvement of the Board is critical and expected.

Specific Board Member responsibilities include:

Leadership, governance, and oversight
Fundraising
Advocacy

This is an extraordinary opportunity for an individual passionate about MODA’s mission, a leader in their industry, an advocate for the power of design to change the world, and a desire to help build a rapidly growing center of design in Atlanta. Ideal candidates will have the following qualifications:

• Professional experience with significant leadership skills and accomplishments in business, government, philanthropy, or the nonprofit sector
• A commitment to and understanding of MODA’s beneficiaries, preferably based on experience
• Savvy diplomatic skills and a natural affinity for cultivating relationships and persuading, convening, facilitating, and building consensus among diverse individuals
