I am the director of a small museum and historic preservation commission
which employs a curator and PT assistant beside myself; we are dependent on
our volunteer corps for support.  Currently, the volunteers are divided into
two committees, each having its own responsibilities.  I have been
encountering some difficulty with certain volunteers in terms of their
parameters and autonomy (or lack thereof).  I believe the parties involved
have good intentions; however, things do need to change.  Any suggestions on
how to tactfully deal with such a situation?  Also, does anyone see a
conflict of interest with regard to someone who volunteers at one museum and
is on the board of another (but similar) museum?

Thanks.
