Hi Danielle,
You might also try guidestar.org.  Some museums include their bylaws with their 990.  One that I know is there is the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.  Their bylaws have pretty detailed descriptions for board officers and board trustees.  Here's the link:

There may be others as well, but I know about NCC's because I used them to write a paper about bylaws for a graduate class.  Good luck!

Hello all,
 
I am looking for any museums that might have board member job descriptions.  I've looked at several templates for non-profit organizations in general.  Would a board member job description specifically for a museum differ much from a board member job description for a general non-profit organization?
 
Thanks,
