Coming up in August
Wednesday, July 8, 2018 @ 3:00pm EDT
Many arts organizations have established or are considering starting programs to engage young professionals to build a future audience and/or donor base. However, the arts administrators responsible
for managing these programs often work in isolation and with little dedicated training in how to make these unique programs successful and efficient. Learn how to manage a young professionals program in concert with other job responsibilities and competing
priorities, use resources effectively, and work with volunteers who contribute to the program’s success.

Comprehensive Marketing Planning Workshop
Wednesday, September 5, 2018 @ 3:00pm EDT
The Comprehensive Marketing Planning Workshop centers on 10 steps marketers can use to produce comprehensive marketing plans. Plans all too often today are made ‘on
the fly’ and under the duress. Well intentioned marketing activities often yield poor results when deep and thorough planning did not occur prior to implementation. By following these tried and true 10 steps, marketers will increase their potential for success.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions at all.
Best,
Cristyn
