| Popis: | The Joggins Fossil Cliffs UNESCO World Heritage Site is managed by the Joggins Fossil Institute (JFI), a charitable organization consisting of a volunteer board of directors and a small staff team. This article illustrates how the governance of this small institution evolved since its inception nearly 20 years ago. Originally, the institute had a traditional hierarchical management structure. But 10 years later, when it had matured and positions and responsibilities no longer needed to be invented, it adopted a flat management structure, which continues to function in a manner that does justice to the demands of running this small centre. We document our unique case study here because we believe it may help other (potential) geoheritage sites, UNESCO sites or others, in crafting a governance structure. |
