Here is a hypothetical situation:
You are hired to open a new museum in an old vacant bank builing.  You
need to develop a three year plan for the museum to present to the  board
of directors.  In the first year, your budget is $80,000 from which you
take $20,000 for your salary.  My question:
Who else would be wise to hire to help get the museum up and running?  I
think maybe a collections manager.
Where might a new museum obtain collections especially considering the
low budget?  I think it would be wise to advertise the opening of the
museum in the newspaper and hope people would bring thier old things to
it to donate or obtain a loan as the first exhibit.
What percentage of the budget might be used for such functions as
maintenance and operation?  I have no idea how much it might cost to
renevate a building or what electric might cost.
If anyone can offer any suggestions and maybe a little direction, please
help.
Thanks
Heidi
