Summary Management structures provide the coordination required to successfully run a museum, and are ultimately held accountable for its operations. A Museum Management Committee is the most common structure and it has a range of roles and responsibilities. Committee membership should be broadly representative of the museums community. Museum Management Committee A committee is the most common form of management structure for many community and specialist museums. It is inherent in the workings of a correctly formed committee that it operates to specific guidelines and a policy structure. The business addressed will include operating the museum appropriately according to agreed standards and dealing with finances. The form of a museum management committee and its lines of responsibility will depend upon the sort of organisation that owns the museum. In the case of museums run by incorporated bodies, such as historical societies or other community groups, management committees are generally elected by the membership. Sometimes they are a subcommittee of an organisation that also has interests other than operating their museum. EMBED OrgPlusWOPX.4 In the case of municipal museums operated by Local Government Authorities, Management Committees or Management Advisory Committees are appointed either by the elected Council or by one of its Standing Committees. EMBED OrgPlusWOPX.4 EMBED OrgPlusWOPX.4 Roles and responsibilities Regardless of the structure it fits within, there should be clear terms of reference for the committee stating its responsibilities, defining what authority it has and identifying those areas it can make decisions about and those which it only has the capacity to make recommendations about. In addition to the general sorts of responsibilities that management or advisory committees of any organisation may have on matters such as setting budgets, approving and overseeing expenditure, museum management committees have some special roles. These include responsibility for recommending or approving major policies covering areas such as collections, interpretation and public programs. Membership of the committee The committee should be broadly representative of the interests of the whole community that the museum serves. A need for particular skills amongst its membership should be balanced with the opportunity to provide input from all stakeholder groups. Although the committee composition will vary from community to community, some of the groups that could be considered for representation on the committee might be: Local Government nominee Education representative Aboriginal interests Local cultural groups Related Government bodies that have local offices Heritage groups (e.g. Historical Society) Tourism interests Key local industry groups or Chamber of Commerce Service club(s) Fiduciary Responsibilities Members of Committees should be aware of their responsibilities either under Corporation Law or the Local Government Act particularly with respect to committee members involvement in decisions where a question of pecuniary interests or a conflict of interest may arise.
