Background Checks
We are currently using Checkr, formerly Good Hire to run volunteer and employee background checks. The cost is $29 per check. What platforms are others using that have a non-profit discount or are cheaper?

Asset labeling to reduce property loss
Good day,
I would love to know if and how others label their toys, props and other museum assets. As small props are regularly taken from the museum, I think having our museum name/logo on items would encourage at least some parents to bring items back when they realize their child brought something home. Does anyone use asset tags or labels of some kind to mark museum property? Thoughts on this? Suggestions? Thank you!
