Also, has your museum considered participating in the AASLH StEPS program? (http://tools.aaslh.org/steps/)? Obviously it’s not a small undertaking, but it’s an excellent way to address all areas of museum practice and train board members with little understanding of the nuts and bolts of what museums actually do, on what the best practices are. I recommend it highly, and it sounds like it might be useful for your situation.
