I did not accept any of the funds received by operating grants I wrote,
due to the small museum and the tight budget. However, grant writers
receive funds for their work, which is what I was hired to do and
why my wages were less. A legal attorney and the board approved the
action, but the small museum was not aware of the ethics involved prior
to this. I did assist them to develop a museum policy and accept a code
of ethics. Thanks for your comments.
