Are any of you aware of museums where the Chief Executive Officer (Executive Director) serves simultaneously as Chairman of the Board? I have read recently (and often thought) that this arrangement can be effective for certain sized organizations, given that the Executive Director is the principal source of board leadership. I would like to know of any of which you might be aware so that I can contact them for information on how well the arrangement works for them.
