Key findings
Key findings of the Museum Board Leadership 2017 report include the following:- Two-thirds of museum directors say their boards have a positive impact on their job satisfaction.
- Museum boards give themselves a B- grade overall, on par with other nonprofits; however, the vast majority of museum boards do not formally assess their performance.
- Museum directors and board chairs believe board diversity and inclusion are important to advance their missions, but have failed to prioritize action steps to advance these priorities.
- Eighty percent of museums give themselves a grade of C or lower on monitoring legislative and regulatory issues with potential to impact the organization.
- Museum board chairs are actively engaged in fundraising activities, and identified fundraising as the most important area for improvement.
