He views the governors' concentration and concern during the crisis period as a way to be followed in the future, before problems get out of hand. %u201c Most of the group showed up at all the meetings and stayed till the bitter end,%u201d Faison declared, adding that the board listened to staff and ex-staff complaints and comments, and wound up convincing the speakers of the governors%u2019 good faith.%u201c A difficult and emotional situation which could have rocked the museum seems to have worked in its favor,%u201d he feels.In response to a query about the board%u2019s positive appraisal of Cameron in view of the many charges against him (including allegations that turned off private and foundation ucnorc; that he constantly antagonized curators, focused on audio visual aids, and that he regimented the staff) Faison said that most of the complaints turned out to %u201c not really be issues.\Attributing last week%u2019s mimmiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiEffectivewind-up to the board's earlier inattention which %u201c brought the situation to a point of no return,\repeated that the governors%u2019 found \stance%u2019%u2019 in the charges against the director. %u201c Cameron has done an effective job, has put the museum in better shape than it had been in for some time,\Faison is certain that the board will continue the closeness to the staff and the museum operation wnich it established in recent weeks. Advising that Board Chairman Levinson who received substantial applause for a performance at the meetings which %u201c all agred was incredibly fairand even handed)\was planning a series of committees tn involve every one of the members, Faison promised that now \will always be someone in touch with each aspect of the museum.%u201dWith the board of governors appearing to be together in its vision of the future if not of the past, concentration will now be placed on the task of selection of Cameron's successor.Pic ns are in motion for the setting up of an interim committee of museum employees, Levinson says. The group, a sort of think tank, will develop ideas, supply input. A search committee, composed of members of the governing board and perhaps members of the overseeing, Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences will be appointed afterwards. This later group will be given the responsibility for discovery of the person who will fulfull the directorial aims to be specified.According to Levinson, the all important question of directorial emphasis is being faced by all museums these days. The happy combination of creativity, curatorial excellence and administrative genius would of course be the perfect blending, he acknowledged.niiiiiiiiiiiim iim iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim iiiiim iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim iiiiiiiim iiiiiiiiiiiiiIiIIIFree Security SurveySpecialists inBrown stone SecuritySegal, Medeco, 3M LocksServing All of So.
