Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Board/staff boundaries
Hello, List

A
Can anyone recommend a document or source to better
educate board members on the appropriate interactions between board and
staff? I have sources that discuss
board responsibilities, but I'm wondering if there is a
"board-friendly" document that helps them understand why they should
not be involved in day to day activities, or directly calling and giving tasks
to staff members.
It's usually the job of the executive director to enforce
appropriate boundaries, but we could use a little help.
