I was wondering if, instead of uniforms, some organizations may just have 
dress codes?  If so what are examples of your dress codes?  Do you ask your 
volunteers to follow the same dress code as your staff?  What do you do if 
someone "breaks" the dress code or refuses to comply with it?  What do you 
do about staff in "rougher" jobs (ie people installing exhibits or cleaning 
artifacts that need to wear grubby clothes), but who also need to work with 
the public (perhaps because of the size of your museum)?
