Joining a nonprofit organization's board offers arts administrators the opportunity to expand upon their skill sets in fundraising, governance, and community leadership.
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.
In this 90-minute webinar, Americans for the Arts President and CEO Robert L. Lynch will moderate a discussion on the strategic questions that savvy arts leaders consider when facing a major challenge—changes in the economy, content controversy, funding crises, and more.
Have you been hearing about the Creative Conversations program for the past five years, and want to find out how you can host an event in your community? Do you have a topic or challenge in your community that needs to be addressed? Then register for this webinar today!
