This book is a must-read not just for every museum director but for every employee. Through excellent case examples, Brian Alexander brilliantly captures the range of financial challenges facing both paid and volunteer leadership of our most treasured institutions and outlines the risks and returns of steps to tackle them. It is one of the most relatable books I have ever read when it comes to museum leadership. It should be required reading for boards and executive leaders. -- James E. Donahue, president and CEO, Old Sturbridge Village/Old Sturbridge Academy/Coggeshall Farm Museum Brian Alexander’s invaluable book is a must read for anyone responsible for constructing budgets, managing finances, or planning for a museum’s future--in other words every member of a museum's professional staff. Offering both cautionary tales and entrepreneurial successes, it illuminates financial pitfalls to avoid, as well as offering positive ways that museums have overcome financial challenges to successfully blend money and mission and sustain healthy institutions. -- Gretchen Sullivan Sorin, director and distinguished professor, Cooperstown Graduate Program/SUNY Oneonta
