Executive Director

The American West Heritage Center (AWHC) is a non-profit, living history farm / museum, located in northern Utah's Cache Valley at the foot of the Wellsville Mountains. The AWHC is affiliated with Utah State University and operates under a special management agreement to fulfill its mission. As a non-profit foundation, the AWHC is a recipient of public money through various channels as part of its funding sources.

It is expected that the Executive Director will lead the organization in such a way as to be able to perpetuate the organization's ability to continue to be a precious resource to the community it serves as well as its patrons for many years to come.
