The Mill Museum’s Board of Directors represents both the Museum’s membership (to become a member of the Museum, click here) and the community. It is both a governing Board and a working Board. The Board sets policies, hires the Executive Director, establishes the Museum’s annual budget, organizes fundraisers, and assists the staff in the day-to-day operation of the Museum. The Board meets on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Anyone interested in joining the Museum’s Board of Directors should contact Kira Holmes at director@millmuseum.org.
