Description
Book SynopsisHarold and Susan Skramstad, two of the field''s most highly regarded experts in museum management, outline the tools you and your board need to handle the challenges facing museums today. A Handbook for Museum Trustees was written to help museum trustees better understand the why and the how of trusteeship, giving board members and museum directors a thorough understanding of their critical and non-negotiable duties. The book clearly identifies areas of responsibility and offers valuable, how-to advice on board discussion and decision-making, providing practical guidelines for improving board practices and fine-tuning the work of the effective board. Not only will the tens of thousands of us who work in museums benefit from A Handbook for Museum Trustees , says Stephen E. Weil, so, too, will the millions more who pass through our doors.
