Wow, what perts, if any do your volunteers get?  We don't charge an admission fee, but do give volunteers a 10% discount on any workshop fees if they want to attend, and 10% off in our Museum Shop.

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] Guest privileges for staff and off-the-clock volunteer visits



Thank you to those who have responded so far. Please keep it coming if you have a response--I am interested in hearing about as many museums as possible. I will be presenting a "this is what other places do" report at an upcoming staff meeting, and every example helps. 



Currently, we don't have a set policy, but there is an expectation that friends and family will pay admission when they visit, and that volunteers will pay admission when they are off-duty. I hope we move to a free or set-number-of-passes solution for staff and stop charging volunteers (or thinking that they should be charged--I'm not sure this ever happens in practice). 



I appreciate your collective input, 

Emily.
