Kristin, does
this Museum exist yet? If it does and it
is a nonprofit based on IRS 501 [c] ratings, you should have papers of
incorporation and bylaws on file with the state. The bylaws should set out those details
specifically and the incorporation papers will outline what type of institution
it is and what its mission is. If you
haven’t filed papers of incorporation yet and the Museum is not under
Tribal government laws, go to the state attorney general’s office. Ask them for guidance as nonprofits have some
required components that differ state to state. The IRS specifies federally mandated
components. If it was created as a
for-profit or under the Tribal government, go to the Tribe to ask for guidance.
You can contact me offline [[log in to unmask]] to chat about this, if you’d
like. I’ve written and updated a
few sets of museum bylaws.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Board Meetings
I am needing some background information to present to our
board members regarding board meetings.
How often does you board meet?
Do you compensate board members? Reimburse Travel Expenses? Meeting Stipends? I
understand the ethics regarding payment of stipends to board members but we are
a tribal entity.
For additional background could you please provide the following:
Type of Museum - Nonprofit, government (city, state, federal, tribal),
university
Number of Board Members on Board
Budget Size
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Kristin Mravinec, Assistant Director
