Guiding Principals
The Royal BC Museum Board of Directors
By Erika Stenson
Head of Marketing, Communications and Business Development
Have you ever wondered about the workings of museum governance and accountability, or the people who make it happen? Here is everything you ever wanted to know!
The Royal BC Museum is governed by a nine-member board of directors, appointed by the Province and accountable to the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture (the Honourable Lisa Beare). The board is responsible for appointing the chief executive officer (Professor Jack Lohman) to implement the organization’s mandate, policies and corporate goals. It is also responsible for ensuring the CEO implements the corporate goals in an ethical framework while following best practice.
There are also a number of board committees that review specific museum and archives operations. These committees include Finance and Audit, Governance Nominating and Human Resources, and Museum Redevelopment.
Members of the Royal BC Museum board of directors are volunteers who serve the organization without remuneration. We thank them for their continued support and service. 2020 –2021 Royal BC Museum BOARD OF DIRECTORS
