In medium size museums $300,000-$1,000,000 The director's formal vacation time is an item open for discussion with the board. Long weekends and the like, a couple of extra days at the holidays were a given. Of course the average work week for Executive Directors was five long days and at least one average day in addition. In the half-dozen institutions, I am familar with, it was most often three weeks vacation at first. This is usually more generous than the time given the rest of staff for several reasons. One is the typical short tenure of administrators these days. The average tneure used to be 7 years, I would guess it is down to five or less in the 90's.
