Been there done that.  That is part of the fear(s) of being a ED of a small (or any) museum.   \
It reads to me that the Board and ED could not work togehter.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Elimination of an Executive Director
To: [log in to unmask]


Here is a link to a story in the Portland Tribune about a museum that eliminated the Executive Director position, temporarily. All of us who have worked in museums have seen board members and EDs have differences (I know I did), but I have seldom seen it written up in a local news story. Anyway, here is the linek. As a side note, I do not know anyone involved, and have never been to the museum. I just thought it an interesting bit to share.
