Ross is absolutely right. The Board President and I decided we should talk about it. Over lunch we both aired frustrations and confusions and opened our door of communication a little wider. We didn't agree on every issue, but he does want to learn more of the inner workings of a museum. In fact his greatest concern, and he said that of the rest of the Board, was that they hasve no idea what I do as curator. I'll be giving each of the Board members a tour of the work area and storage. This seems to be a good solution for us and hopefully will aid in our understanding of each other.
