What Museum are you talking about? What is the major strategic challenge
the Board faces? There is probably a minimum set of skills a Director needs:
communication, organisation, leadership, familiarity with the business, etc.,
but you are asking a "What is the best fish?" question. The answer is always,
"It depends."
