The first is to hire an Executive Director with substantial skills (especially at fundraising and membership development), who would take over much of the responsibilities now assigned to the [[Board]]. While a common approach for larger organizations, this would not be affordable for our Society until and unless we increase our membership by several orders of magnitude.
The second is to hire an Office Manager who would focus on the clerical and mechanical aspects of the work, leaving the Board and their appointees to carry the balance bulk of the work. This too is beyond our present ability to fund, but is something we might achieve with only a doubling of the membership.
In both cases, the senior staff member will need to oversee the work of volunteers, both on- and off-site. Finding a candidate who can do so constructively will be essential, and close monitoring during their first years will be needed to ensure we have chosen well.
