Seminars & Convenings
Join us for one of our upcoming gatherings:
- Conversations With The Field
Arts Presenters is reinventing itself for you. We want to make your professional life more effective and rewarding by designing and delivering programs and services that better serve you. Thanks to those who participated in these convenings and helped shape Arts Presenter's future.
In September and October, we hosted a series of meetings, called Conversations with the Field. At each session, Members learned how the association is re-envisioning and re-engineering itself. Your insight helped decide how to focus the association by determining:
- What opportunities and challenges do you face?
- How can we make your organization more sustainable?
- What do you need and want to work more effectively?
- How can our programs and services create more value for your time and money?
- Can we better leverage the power of peer-learning within the membership?
Thanks again to all who shared their experiences, challenges and visions!
