>A new executive director needs to be hired. That position is essential for a professionally run museum.
BS. The recently departed executive director is one of the major causes of the present problems of "patronage" and decline in the number of volunteers. Besides, none of Bored of Dirs has much of a clue about how to run a volunteer museum, so how can they write a job description for someone to do it for them?
All these railway museums were created by the efforts of volunteers. If you cut the volunteers out of the process by hiring "paid professionals" to run the place, the museum will eventually collapse.
