Does "board expectations" mean job descriptions for the various board
positions? If not, then I'd suggest adding that.

The organizational chart is a very good idea.

Perhaps also a brief calendar listing any program activities for the
upcoming year, especially recurring programs that can be anticipated in
advance; maybe this is already covered under your "schedule of board
meetings and other events."

Subject: Museum Board Orientation Manual


> Hello All,
>
> I'm going to be developing a museum board orientation manual for my museum
and I'm wondering if anyone in a similar size museum (small, looking for
museums with an annual budget of less than $100,000) has something similar
they would be willing to share with me.  I'm envisioning it will include:
>
> the history and purpose of the museum
> mission
> the by-laws
> board expectations
> a schedule of board meetings and other events
> an organizational chart
> budget information
>
>
> Any other suggestions for things to include?  If you have something
similar for your board and are willing to share it, please contact me off
list ([log in to unmask]).
