Erin, you raise some interesting questions.
>
> Questions for similar institutions:
> 1. What is your organization's annual budget? And where does the
> money come from?
Like you, we have a budget under $250,000. About 1/3 of our budget is
from the county. The rest is from memberships, grants, shop sales, etc.
> 2. How many members sit on the board? What qualifications must
> they meet to be elected?
We have 12 board members. They have to be members of our Historical
Society and take an interest in our activities to qualify.
> 3. What time does the board meet? The board meets the third
> Thursday of each month at 7 PM and has a yearly, day-long retreat in
> June. Sometimes they have a mini-retreat in January to review what's
> happened since June -- depends on the ambitions of the president.
> 4. Are staff requested/required to attend? If after hours, are
> the staff compensated? Staff are not required to attend, but we
> usually do. As an hourly employee, I am compensated. Our salaried
> employees take extra time off.
> 5. Do members of the board get compensation for meetings? If so,
> how much? Our board members are not compensated for attending
> meetings. For any expenses they have related to the board, such as
> when the secretary used to copy the minutes (before they were
> electronic), they receive reimbursement. We do have one really
> outstanding board member who lives about 100 miles away. There has
> been some talk lately about helping her with gasoline costs, but I'm
> not sure where that will go.
