The answers I have seen thus far are technically correct, and may be the
way for you to go.

However, I note that you said you are with a small art museum. If your
museum as small as mine, and if the lady in question has a long time
committment to your organization (the comparable person with my
organization is a founding Mother and dedicated fund raiser), your hands
may be tied. Mine are, and my fingers are crossed. Most of the board
knows of her problem. Not only are we a small museum, but we are in a
small town so liablity risk not withstanding, we feel we cannot confront
the issue directly.

Good luck.
