Many of the directors have been fired. The board of directors hires the agency director. The current director used to be a board member. Talk about "keeping it in the family!"<br />The number of members of the AHS who pay dues is very small for a state of 6 million people. Guess nobody cares about the AHS. And nobody walks into the museum. Hope you are able to publish what the true attendance is for all of their museums. The future Centennial Museum will probably have just as few. Are they going to charge admission for this grand boring museum?? If the do dont expect very many people to walk in. Gotta love those exciting exhibits on cattle, fruit and climate!!!! LOL<br />Will there be an admission charge?????????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994988846355883285.post-16106237002413214032011-01-04T13:15:56.768-08:002011-01-04T13:15:56.768-08:00The director works at the behest of the board of d...The director works at the behest of the board of directors. They can fire that person if needed. When they figure out what kind of trouble the director has caused them with the Mineral Museum/Centennial Museum mess I would hope that they would. The director already has the agency deep in manure with the Rio Nuevo problems. The agency spent 1,400,000 dollars for designs of a museum that will never be built. out of stste exhibit designer too. All while cutting staff and closing museums. And while pulling the State Parks chesnuts out of the fire by taking over one of their museums.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
