Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of existing board procedure, policy, set of guidelines, or system
  • Creation of one document outlining one procedure, policy, operations, or set of guidelines, for example: bylaws, board meeting procedure, succession planning guidelines, committee policies, board member orientation handbook, etc.
Additional details

We need to update our organizational bylaws. It has been more than a decade since the bylaws have been reviewed/updated and we would like the bylaws to better reflect our accessibility focus, inclusive language and an IDEA mindset.

What we have in place
  • We currently have experienced legal advisors on our board of directors, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have inclusive language, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,723 , allowing us to redirect those funds toward inclusive programming for children.

We want to ensure our organizational structure reflects the mission of the museum in every aspect of what we do, top to bottom. This is a core document that we rely on and updates will help better reflect our inclusive accessibility focus.
