Has the veil of secrecy (gag order) been removed on this situation at SDRM for anyone to comment? It looks like a case study worth other RR museums taking note. See the Flimsies news story link. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20021115-9999_7m15museum.html |

Oops! I see this news was posted earlier. Nevertheless it's a clarion call to the "Enrons" of the RR museum world to get your house in order before the "stockholders" (members & volunteers) do it for you. > Has the veil of secrecy (gag order) been > removed on this situation at SDRM for anyone > to comment?

>I think the first problem is that there was a 25 member board. Inevitably, a board that size encourages factionalizing-contrary to popular belief more is not always better. Secondly, in 650 people-maybe 10-15 has the experience to be an effective board member. That means 40-60% was probably the folks that get on boards as rewards for long service. If this group is smart-they'll find 5-9 folks who have the grey matter and time. superheater@beer.com |

Huh?! What kind of logic is that? > Secondly, in 650 people-maybe 10-15 has the > experience to be an effective board member. > That means 40-60% was probably the folks > that get on boards as rewards for long > service. > If this group is smart-they'll find 5-9 > folks who have the grey matter and time. |

I hear another RR museum had a board member and exec. director resign today over the failure to overturn a motion requiring that three board positions be nominated from the membership. They were pushing a full self-perpetuating board which essentially disenfranchied the paying members. > Has the veil of secrecy (gag order) been > removed on this situation at SDRM for anyone > to comment?
