Even though not reflected, the Museum's collection represents one of its most valuable assets. Purchase of collection items are reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets or as decreases in temporary restricted net assets if the asset used to purchase the items were restricted by donors. It is the Museum's policy not to sell its collection items. Any proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset classes. The Museum employs full-time employees to manage the stewardship of the collection items in accordance with the collection and acquisition policy and under the direction of the executive director and board of directors. Each item is numbered and catalogued in a continuous inventory tracking system. Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 The Museum's collection is encyclopedic in that it spans time frames from antiquities to modern art and includes works from a variety of cultures and countries of origin. It is comprised of statues, paintings, works in ceramics, and other media. Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Each year the Board traditionally allows the museum to draw 4.5% of the endowment. Draws may be spent according to the restrictions placed by the donor on those funds, those generally being to support the museum operations, costs of exhibitions and the cost of art acquisitions. Unspent portions of the 4.5% funds can be carried forward to subsequent years of expenditure. In unusual circumstances, the Board has authorized additional amount to be drawn from the Endowment. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Emily Neff Kelso Director 322566 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 322566 0 0 0 Waris Mustafa Chief Financial Officer 162915 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 162915 0 0 0 Lisa Abel Chief Development Officer 164982 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 164982 0 0 0 Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 The Board of Trustees approves compensation for the Kelso Director.
