TOP TEAM
Artist Chris Sollars draws attention to the items thrown away and what happens to trash once it disappears from sight
WADE LINDENBERGER Director of fi nance and administration
What’s your role? I’m responsible for all the operations of the museum fi nance, information technology (IT), human resources (HR) and facilities. We’re the behind-the- scenes support for the team. Day to day I manage our fi nances, make sure our facility is welcoming and safe for visitors and that employees get everything they need to do their job.
How do you juggle the diff erent elements? The multiple roles can be a challenge from time to time. I look at each sepa- rately and plan my day and set my objectives according to the needs of each of those functions. Finance needs a steady amount of
attention because I’m constantly looking at the best way to utilise our assets. I want to make sure we can fund our pro- grammes and the things we want to do at the museum. We also need to get the highest quality information to our stake- holders and the other people we work
36
with. HR is also a fairly constant requirement – it’s important the employ- ees are competitively rewarded and have a positive, supportive work envi- ronment. On the IT side, I’m always watching to make sure the communica- tions elements are available and working effectively, that we’re able to get our messages out to the public and that the people behind the scenes can use their computers and other equipment to communicate. We have a good strategy in place on the IT side and I have a very good facili- ties manager, so I don’t get involved in these on a day-to-day basis.
What are your future plans? We have the opportunity to take advan- tage of technology, both behind the scenes and in our museum. We envision having a highly interactive museum with handheld devices and looking at things in the museum in a high-technol- ogy way. That’s a goal and challenge of mine, both from a technology standpoint and a fi nancial one. This year we’re hoping to put in a
more robust wireless network. By 2015 we want to take the next step and have that higher interactivity within the museum. It’s an exciting development.
