Jeff,
One book that may help with not-for-profit issues in general is the Jossey-Bass Handbook for Nonprofit Leadership and Management also the American Association of Museums has a number of resources available.

Hi there
I am new to the list and new to museums in general, but am involved with a group of passionate, talented, and energized people working on a Steering Committee for a fledgling museum organization.
I am interested in receiving emails with website links or documents (docs, pdfs, etc) that illustrate a museum structure and in particular, the relationship between the Board and/or its subcommittees, or Steering Committee. We are currently too small to have a structure that includes departments per se, but I am curious about helping to determine the best way to organize ourselves where decisions get made, work gets done, everyone stays informed with project committees that report back to a wider group, and we plot our future. I am interested in comments about what structures work well in the early days of museum planning.
Thanks in advance
Jeff
