Boards of Directors, Management, & Musicians?

In any business enterprise, it is assumed that the Management should be composed of individuals with experience in the business at hand. It goes without saying that this should also be also true of a Board of Directors.
Not so in the Music Business!
With Symphonies, Operas Companies, Casino Entertainment Departments, in Management and on the Boards, there are NO people with on-stage experience. In fact the opposite is true - professional status in the music business actually DISQUALIFIES you for Management or Board status. Examples abound.
For example:
In town here we have a Symphony with a substantial budget (well into 7 figures). No-one with entertainment experience in management or on the Board. If anything, there is the unique situation of the management looking down on the orchestra players as inferior beings. (aka 'They' know better than the musicians.)
We have a Casino (what town doesn't, anymore!) with an 'entertainment department' - 5 people - none of whom have spent a minute on stage in their lives. Wouldn't know a C-sharp from a sea-bass. Or a backline from a basketball.
And we have just had an auditorium/theatre go belly-up bankrupt. No actual entertainment experience to be seen anywhere in the management. Ever. (And they blamed it on decreased bingo revenue!)
And then they all wonder why, in return, they get little/no respect from entertainers themselves!
