Dear Jane Allen:  At Thomas & Hirsch, we have been involved in working with
museums on the studies that you describe.  Most recently, I completed such a
process with a major East Coast museum.  Our brief included interviewing
staff and executive management, a study and analysis of the organizational
chart and division and department functions, recommendations on
restructuring, and updating or rewriting resumes, etc.  Please let me know
if we can assist your or your colleague's oganization in any way. Geri
Thomas, Thomas & Hirsch, 146 West 28th Street, New York, NY 10001; phone:
