Dear Friends,
The Olmsted Network is moving forward in the search for a new president to succeed Anne “Dede” Neal Petri, who recently stepped down after five years of exceptional leadership.
Though we will miss Dede’s expertise and exuberance, we are pleased to have a familiar face guide us through this transition. Caroline Cunningham works to build non-profit capacity at her firm Big Vision and has served as a trusted advisor to the Olmsted Network for the last five years, helping to shape the successful “Olmsted 200: Parks for All People” celebration in 2022. She brings a deep understanding of the Olmsted Network’s mission and goals and will help direct the search for Dede’s successor and identify the organization’s next dynamic leader alongside our selection committee.
The Olmsted Network seeks a visionary and innovative leader with proven experience and outstanding management skills to serve in this position. The right candidate will lead the organization into a new and exciting chapter, building on a period of tremendous growth.
We ask that you share the position description widely and encourage all interested individuals to apply.
Thank you for your continued support of the Olmsted Network. Together, we will ensure that the organization stays well-positioned to champion parks, places and principles through advocacy, education and stewardship.
Kindly,

Philip Schultz & William Bell
Co-Chairs,
Olmsted Network
