Hi! I am a new member (as of today). Do any of you happen to know the guidelines or "rules" for when security guards are necessary and when they are not? Right now, we schedule security AT ALL TIMES that someone other than staff is in the building. Whether it be regular open hours or an evening event or a tour during hours that we are closed to the general public. Do you sometimes fill in with other staff or even volunteers? Does that affect accreditation? We are trying to find ways to cut costs and eliminating security salaries to a degree would cut costs considerably. thanks for your help Sue Bodemer Operations Manager Rockwell Museum of Western Art 111 Cedar St. Corning, NY 14830 607-937-5386 (museum main number) 607-974-4162 (direct line) 607-974-4536 (fax) [log in to unmask] www.rockwellmuseum.org ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
