Who obtains sponsorships at your institution? 

I'm talking about support for events or exhibits.  I am especially interested in hearing from smaller organizations, that do not have a multiple person development/gift/marketing department.

We are considering a model here where each staff person must obtain sponsors for the event, conference, tour or exhibit for which they are responsible. I'm wondering if others divide it up this way, or if you have one person who cultivates sponsors for each activity.

It seems to be it would be better for one person to be delivering a consistent message, and not "double dipping" - unknowingly asking the same sponsor for more than one event ("What? Your co-worker already approached me!)

I have an question about routine HVAC maintenance.  I am the Curator of Collections at a medium sized museum.  We own four buildings all of which are temp and RH regulated.  I have been with the museum for three years and have worked with the same maintenance person for the entire time of my tenure.  He does do periodic maintenance checks on the system but I was wondering if anyone out there had a checklist of what your HVAC maintenance does on a monthly or quarterly basis.  I would like to create some accountability for what he does or doesn't do and also have some kind of paperwork for when filters were changed, etc.  

Thanks
