Queens Botanical Garden’s Membership program is currently comprised of over 1,200 households and offers benefits such as free admission, discounted access to QBG programs, and invitations to Members-Exclusive events. The Membership Coordinator will oversee all aspects of QBG’s membership program, including solicitation, gift entry, membership card processing, troubleshooting, and stewardship of active and prospective members. They will collaborate with Garden leadership to design and implement strategies to grow the number of member households and seek to inspire members to become donors. This is a largely operations-focused role that also interfaces with members and the general public on a regular basis; therefore, the Coordinator will possess administrative, office, and customer service skills. As a member of the Development Department, the Membership Coordinator will provide general support for the department’s ongoing work, especially special event planning. The Membership Coordinator reports to the Assistant Director of Development.
