Good Morning Jessica,

Yes.

Orientation for new BOT (Board of Trustees) members consists of:

1.            Orientation Manual (a ‘weighty’ document);

2.            Several staff led familiarization tours behind the scenes and public areas of all of the facilities (main facility – museum/giant 3D theater/planetarium; nature center; fossil research site; and two historic properties) of the museum system;

3.            “Buddy” system, pairing an veteran BOT member (or a member of senior management) with a new BOT member for one-on-one ‘Learning Lunches’ and other informal on-on-one meetings; and,

4.            A special morning meeting with breakfast…. just for new BOT members….. with presentations by members of senior management, each giving a briefing on what their departments do, their goals and objectives, activities, and meeting other senior staff – with opportunities to ask staff questions; and,

I hope you will find this information useful.

Best Wishes for Success!

Wesley
