Gardiner Meritus
The Gardiner Museum has had many board members, donors and volunteers who have served over the years, and the Museum has benefited greatly from their support. To recognize this contribution to the Museum, and to ensure these key stakeholders remain connected to it, the distinction of “Gardiner Meritus” was created.
Our Gardiner Meritus members include previous board members, both Trustees and Directors; previous Presidents of the Gardiner Volunteer Committee (GVC) and volunteers who have served for over 20 years; donors giving $50,000, in funds or objects, in individual or cumulative gifts; and others may be suggested by senior staff or Board members to the Executive Director, including prominent artists who work in clay, past Gardiner Board Committee members, or those with a similar profile. Individuals in this category would need to be approved by the Governance Committee.
