| Best Practices for Board Service: Historic House Museums – Part II Wednesday, April 24, 2019 1:30 – 3:00 pm CT Presented by Donna Ann Harris, Heritage Consulting Inc. In Part 2 of our webinar series on Best Practices for Board Service at Historic Sites, we will discuss what historic site board members do collectively and as individuals to support the organization with their “time, talent and treasure.” During this webinar, we will talk about all volunteer historic sites, as well as those with staff, to differentiate what the board versus the staff does in both types of organizations. We will highlight the leadership qualities needed in an excellent Board President (whether you have staff or not), and how the Nominating and Executive Committees can shape the future of the organization. Finally, we’ll discuss the core documents that all house museums need in order to be effective stewards of their collections and historic property.
