The American Philatelic Society, the largest stamp collecting organization in the U.S., and the American Philatelic Research Library have retained a professional recruitment company to find its next executive director. Current executive director Scott English gave notice last fall that he would like to leave sometime this summer (2025).

The Moran Company, according to its website, specializes “in the recruitment of Executive Directors/CEOs, Fundraising/Development Directors, Hospital Foundation Directors and other senior leadership staff — who get results.

“We only serve the nonprofit community.”

The summary for the position cites four areas of primary duties and responsibilities: Organizational Leadership, Community Leadership, Financial Sustainability and Board Governance, that is, interaction with and monitoring of the members of the APS Board of Directors and the American Philatelic Research Library trustees.

There is much more detail on these four areas in the announcement of the search on the APS website. The announcement anticipates a salary of $175,000-200,000.

All applicants are directed to contact The Moran Company, not the APS. That link also provides background information on the APS and APRL.
