Do you think this board is suitably diverse?

Diverse occupation and skill sets

Lack of diversity: Gender and racial background

The board is small with only 4 members, thus resulting in limited diversity

Do you think the board members seem well-matched with the mission and/or nature of the organisation?

We also champion the value of art by presenting a year-round roster of accessible and innovative programmes catered to diverse audiences—encompassing educational talks for schools, public art tours, exhibitions and artist residencies—with the aim of encouraging a deeper understanding and appreciation of art and artists in the community.

Hard to say that they match with the mission, but they definitely match the values of SRT. They are also extremely corporate/commercially focused, and none of them specialise in the arts beyond a cursory interest or philanthropic reasons.

It looks very resource-driven, with lawyers, fundraisers and marketing agents being some useful resource or expertise providers for the company.

They have majority from commercial/business backgrounds. this could be to ensure that they have the maximum access to a range of skills and experience that are needed as the organisation goes through the phases of its life cycle from infancy to maturity.

Examples: marketing, business development, enterprise risk management etc.

VISION

A progressive art museum that fosters and inspires a thoughtful, creative and inclusive society.

MISSION

We create dialogues between the art of Singapore, Southeast Asia and the world through collaborative research, education and exhibitions.

We provide a memorable experience through outstanding collections and innovative programming in a historical landmark.

- Some of the board members do not seem to be from an arts/creative background hence it might seem as though they do not directly reflect that nature of the museum. But I believe that this mix of board members from various walks of life can benefit the decision making of the gallery when it comes to inclusivity.

- Aside from their professional careers, they might have strong passion and interest for the arts (e.g. avid collectors of art, patrons)

In alignment with the Board's duties, it is important that there is a balanced ratio of board members from commercial backgrounds and arts backgrounds as they offer different perspectives when charting the overall strategic direction of the gallery for example, designating the investment strategies to a board member with a better understanding of the financial/ commercial sector will ensure a better optimisation of public funds
