Well, friend, the point is made! Again! and Again! Appearances are the
reality of most organizations or we wouldn't have a White House worrying
that Bubba is sitting a couple of inches lower than Boris Yeltsin!
Let's get back to the thread. In the museum field, what is the appropriate
distance between board and professional staff -- what latitude is
appropriate? Why do we still countenance the idea of having board members
sign all checks? Are we mistrusted by stereotype? An IMS-GOS grant
reviewer once gigged us for not requiring that a board member sign
checks....Wow!
