The trustees and an active executive committee lead the Rubin Museum of Art's governance process. The Museum is committed to best practices in governance and social responsibility. In partnership with the professional staff the trustees participate in strategic planning, development initiatives, and oversight of the programmatic and collecting activities of the institution.
The Advisory Council members lend expertise and provide guidance on programmatic content and amplify the Museum’s visibility and outreach to diverse communities. They work in close collaboration with the Board of Trustees to serve as ambassadors to the Museum.
