My Company Assignment

My fictional company will be centered around a museum.  Called the Women in Modern American Music Museum, the museum will focus on the contributions of women to all types of music, especially in American favorites like jazz, Broadway, popular, and rock music.  Located in downtown New York City near Lincoln Center, this museum will be open to the general public and will feature exhibits centered around important women songwriters, composers, singers, musicians, and their contributions to American culture.  

The supporters and staff of the museum hope to educate people on the importance of women in American music and to inspire future generations of women to make great contributions in music.  

The museum is primarily funded by a trust provided by a single generous donor, but it also draws financial support from national and local arts foundations, women's councils and foundations, and smaller private donors.  These funds keep the museum and its basic work operational, but they do not provide for too many extra expenses.  

As a result, the current museum staff is very small and consists of only ten people:  a general manager, me, a curator/music scholar, a special events/volunteer coordinator, two full-time and five part-time staff members that act as assistants and docents whenever and whereever they are needed.  The museum also gets volunteers from students in local colleges like New York University and the Julliard School of Music.
