In coordination with the U.S. House of Representatives' STEAM Caucus co-chaired by Reps. Aaron Schock (R-IL) and Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR), Americans for the Arts will bring together STEAM leaders in diverse sectors, including academic, industry, government, and education fields to discuss briefly their work with STEAM and respond to a moderated question to build a conversation and showcase STEAM as a movement the public can join.
Every arts organization will one day face a change in leadership—with or without advance notice. When that change comes, you and your board can confidently face the transition with a solid leadership succession plan.
Are you and your organization prepared to be an effective arts advocate? As funding from local government sources becomes more competitive and less available you will need more tools and expertise to create effective local arts advocacy strategies. In this webinar, you will learn from some of the best arts advocates about how they developed their successful advocacy campaigns.

How to Create the Brave Bureaucrat
Margie Johnson Reese
