I agree that the employees contribute enough as it is, but the museums I have worked in I felt like it was an unwritten rule kinda that employees were expected to be members. So I don't feel like the practice is that unusual.

It seems unusual. I have worked at a museum where board members had to pay annual dues. But I feel like staff contribute enough to the organization to not need to buy a membership. If it's that important, just pay them 30$ less a year.But no. That seems unusual to me and it would make me uncomfortable as well.-Robert
Sent from my iPhoneI work at a small museum that asks its employees to purchase museum memberships. It is not required, but almost all staff and the board are paying members of the museum. This practice seems to barely toe the ethical line, especially since several staff have expressed discomfort about being asked.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or know of any readings or museum ethical codes that speak to this issue? I am looking for something to reference since this is something new to me.
Thanks!
