Hi All-

First Question:  
The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh is interested in finding out if any other children's museum is a LEED certified green building.  We've been talking with Brooklyn about their project and so far our two are the only ones we know about.  We're under construction and find our experiences are similar to BCM.  Is anyone else working with the Green Building Council in getting a LEED rating?

Second Question:
Does anyone have a board emeritus policy they would be willing to share with us?  We're just starting down this path and would be interested in seeing what has been done at other museums.

Thanks in advance....

Jane Werner
Executive Director
