Templates for Museum Trustees are customizable, software-based tools designed to present board information so that it can be explored and understood from different perspectives and used to increase board effectiveness.

Using familiar software, the Templates help boards create documents, spreadsheets, reports and presentations tailored to their own needs. The completed tools help boards organize their thoughts, identify their priorities, and plan their actions.

The Templates were developed using Microsoft Office 2000. They are also compatible with Microsoft Office 97 & Office XP.
