the Arts member, you have FREE ACCESS to our webinars, so take advantage of as many as you would like. Here’s what’s coming up:
Yes, And! Why Evaluation is Essential for Good Storytelling
Wednesday, March 21 @ 3:00PM EDT
In this high-energy webinar, Sheri Chaney Jones will share how stories and evaluation results lead to increase revenues, stronger relationships with funders, more engaged volunteers, and more
meaningful impact. Inspiring research from Impact & Excellence will be shared around how arts organizations who establish specific measurement best practices are more successful. Participants will
learn that this is fun, can be accomplished with any size organization, and will lead to positive results. Practical strategies that participants can start implemented immediately will be shared.
Virtual Conversation: How Arts Vibrant is Your Community?
April 10 @ 3:30PM EDT
Healthy communities have healthy arts communities. Learn about NCAR's Arts Vibrancy Index which ranks more than 900 communities across the country, examining the level of supply, demand, and
government support for the arts in each city. Find out where your community falls on the related Heat Map, with rank scores on all measures for every U.S. county. Understand what makes a city vibrant in the arts and the different elements that come into play
to foster that vibrancy. Discuss how communities can boost vibrancy and why it matters to their overall health.
Why Mentorship? Developing a Meaningful Program: Session 1
Tuesday, April 24 @ 6:00PM EDT
Running an organization today requires the creation of low-cost, high-quality, creative solutions to development. Starting a mentorship program allows your organization to capitalize on your
greatest resource, your people. Investment in a mentorship program shows that your organization values people, fosters a more engaged workforce, and leads to higher rates of job satisfaction. This session will explore what a mentorship program is, various
program models, and how to effectively use a program so that it is beneficial to all involved.
