Carol, you really hit the nail on the head. Nice answer.
And I think that's the challenge - to get the money, without the whole thing
being ABOUT the money. To remember the passion for the knowledge and the
aesthetics and the stuff and the people and to let that truly drive the
programming and planning for the Museum - in a dynamic, committed, and,
well....sexy, kind of way. To remember what got YOU going in the first
place. I've seen passionate and imaginative Museum directors and Board
members do miracles because they believed, and didn't let the marketing run
the mission. How to keep the spark alive, despite the constant grubbing for
bucks, that's what I see as the top challenge.
