Danny,
I can tell you for a fact that our treasurer insulted the executive director of another major museum so bad that the director let our president have an earful the next time he called her.  Then the treasurer sent her flowers to try to suck up to her.  That only made matters worse as this is an extremely intelligent woman and this only made her more upset that the treasurer thought she could be bought off with flowers. He never did apologize...thought the flowers should take care of everything.  The director told me this herself, so it is absolutely the truth.  There are many instances similar to this one.  Our board is not representing the HPOCA in a good way right now.  I couldn't say anything before for fear of losing my job.  Didn't seem to make much difference though.  Still lost it.
