Esler Jennifer - Score: 86.000
Goals and activities support the mission; measurable objectives could be more clearly defined. I would like to have had more detail about the proposed exhibitions. Loved all the partnerships. Provides significant impact, but economic impact measures are lacking in the proposal. Not clear about evaluation methods and minimal concerns about sustainability due to recent Board history. In terms of accessibility, are there policies rather than tools?

Your administrative personnel expenses are much higher than your programming. I urge you to talk with your auditors on how you might best re-classify some of your personnel that you currently class as admin.

A staff person for accessibility compliance must be addressed. Possibly this is an error in the application. Lack of fundraising is a concern regarding community participation/commitment. Too much information about past achievements is noted. Partnerships could be better detailed along with exhibitions.

The reviewer needed more details on this organization's collections management policies and procedures. The reviewer questions the applicant's financial and organizational stability after their break-up with ICA. The application failed to adequate address the issues which have arisen from the separation and how the applicant plans to address them. The reviewer needed more budget details to address some issues in the submitted budget. (i.e. Personnel: Programmatic, Outside fees, remaining operating expenses) It is important that applicants submit letters of support from their stakeholders, partners, and/or constituents to show outside commitment for their work.

Goals and objectives were described. The musuems outreach and accessibilty strategies are admirable. However, due to several vacant key positions that were persumably unfilled until FY17 and the lack of clarity on how this institution raises and generates revenue, additionally clarifications are needed.
