Subject: Museum Board Orientation Manual

Hello All,

I'm going to be developing a museum board orientation manual for my
museum and I'm wondering if anyone in a similar size museum (small,
looking for museums with an annual budget of less than $100,000) has
something similar they would be willing to share with me.  I'm
envisioning it will include:

the history and purpose of the museum
mission
the by-laws
board expectations
a schedule of board meetings and other events
an organizational chart
budget information


Any other suggestions for things to include?  If you have something
similar for your board and are willing to share it, please contact me
off list ([log in to unmask]).

Thanks,
Keni Sturgeon
