[Michlib-l] Dress Code Inquiry

[Abby Bond]

I think a big consideration should be how many staff members you have, how
much turnover, and how many shirts each staff member should have to get
through the week. Does your budget easily cover that cost? Does the Board
member expect the staff to pay for their own shirts?

It might not even be a question on whether it's a good idea or not, but are
you willing to spend the money on it?
