I Heather Lomas, MDEM Organisational Health Review consultant, will provide up to date and practical advice on reviewing your governance model and considering the available options for museums. Case study examples of museums who have recently moved to become Charitable Incorporated Organisations will be provided and there will be plenty of time for discussion.
