The Santa Fe market for VP Marketings

Santa Fe's business base is unusual: arts and cultural institutions, tourism and hospitality, state government, nonprofits, and a small research and remote-founder community. Budgets are frequently grant- or endowment-driven rather than revenue-driven. Part-time executive leadership fits both the scale and the funding structure of most organizations here.
