International Yacht Restoration School Seeks New President

POSITION PROFILE: www.imsearch.com/open-searches/iyrs-school-technology-and-trades/president

This is an extraordinary opportunity to strengthen and grow a unique technology and trade school that produces exceptional student outcomes. IYRS is valued by students for its hands-on, team-based learning model and sought out by employers for its highly skilled graduates. Named one of the Best Maker Schools in the world by Newsweek, IYRS possesses impressive facilities on the Newport harbor front, expert faculty, and respect from industry and the local community. IYRS alumni have started successful businesses and embarked on careers ranging from boat building to wind energy to aerospace to consumer goods.

IYRS currently offers four full-time, accredited certificate programs: Boatbuilding & Restoration, Marine Systems, Composites Technology, and Digital Modeling & Fabrication. Each year IYRS enrolls 90 to 100 students that represent a diverse mix of high school and college graduates, veterans, career changers, and up-skillers. IYRS is supported by a staff and faculty of 25 and a 33-member board of trustees and sits on a three-acre waterfront campus featuring four administrative and academic buildings and a working marina. Reporting to the President is a five-member leadership team. IYRS’s FY2022 operating budget is $4.3 million.

IYRS’s next President will have the opportunity to mold the right mix of academic programs, increase enrollment, diversify its financial resources, continue to develop the board, maintain philanthropic support, and create a clear and powerful communications strategy. The next President should bring leadership, financial stewardship, marketing, and management experience; a passion for experiential education and an entrepreneurial spirit; expertise in partnering with diverse constituencies; and a commitment to the mission of IYRS to prepare students to enter the global maker and manufacturing workforce.
