The dustup over governance that has paralyzed the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, for the past six months has come to an end, the Arizona Republic reports.

The board of the organization founded sixty-five years ago by the legendary architect and the Taliesin Fellowship, a community of architects and staff at Wright's Taliesin campuses in Wisconsin and Scottsdale, had been locked in debate since December, when the board of the foundation voted to end Taliesin's veto power. At the time, the organization held seven of the twenty board seats and thus had effective veto power over the board's decisions. Under the new agreement, the number of Taliesin fellows on the board has been reduced to four, and the organization's voting power has been limited to specific actions, such as the sale of significant assets, that could be considered detrimental to the foundation's mission.

In the past year, the organization has suffered through financial woes, management turnover, turmoil on the board, and a sanction by the commission that accredits its architecture school. According to foundation vice president Beverly Hart, reducing the fellowship's representation on the board will attract more outside board members, something nonprofit experts say is key to the group's continued success.
