I am interested in this as well.  Please respond to the list.  We have tried many things here but they just don’t seem to work.

 

Cheers!

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] New Board Member Training

 

Hi all!

 

We are getting ready to "train" our three new board members to our museum. Since I have come on as director, several already existing board members have said that they wished they had more information before they began work. One even suggested a board mentor type program. My question is this....what do the rest of you all do to induct your new board members as to the nuts and bolts of your organization beyond giving them a copy of your bylaws. How do you get them to understand the down and dirty of your operation in a quick and timely manner? What worked and what hasn't?

 

Diane
