Keep it brief and SOMEWHAT vague.  The mission statement will be more
flexible that way (think of the few pages of the U.S. Constitution v. some
state constitutions that run to several volumes).

Dear List Serv folks...i value your opinion and guidance.  We are at the
point of setting guidelines for our board committees for our new museum.  I
am working on the programming committee and have been asked to propose a
mission statement.  Should i keep it brief?  Or should i use the
opportunity to provide some details on how i see that committee functioning
effectively? Any templates folks can send or give me links to would be
appreciated.  Responses on or off list are welcome.  Many thanks!
