According
to the Harvard Business Review, effective governance of
nonprofit organizations is "a rare and unnatural
act." This highly participatory workshop will focus
on several rapidly emerging trends in nonprofit governance,
with emphasis on the attributes of peak-performing boards.
Topics include: board self-assessment, committee structure,
recruiting (and retaining) great new board members, and
board meetings that truly make a difference. Leave your
preconceived notions at the door and dare to enter this
challenging, thought provoking, high energy conversation. |

In
2004, the Arts & Culture Program of The Heinz Endowments
launched an innovative grants-based laboratory designed
to field-test new practices dedicated to enhancing an
arts event through experiences that support and expand
the event itself. Since that time, the Arts Experience
Initiative has garnered national attention and is being
cited by a range of funders, cultural alliances and arts
organizations as a model for cultivating 21st century
audience-centered enrichment programming. Project researcher
and facilitator Lynne Conner will discuss her theory of
co-authorship and present key findings from this Pittsburgh-based
experiment, followed by comments from organizations that
have or are currently participating. |
