We are an "emerging" museum and our bylaws call for the mayors of the two towns adjoining our site to be "Ex Officio" members of our Board of Directors, without voting rights. That is, we want their participation and input, but we do not want political control of the board in any way, so they cannot actually vote. They can suggest, advise, discuss, etc. Best, Maggie Harrer President of the Board of Directors The Water Works Conservancy, Inc.
