New Managers Orientation
Began with an overview from Nancy Daugherty, Carmen Boston and Sarah Cunningham concerning the NEA-NASAA partnership. It included history of the current structure for professional development, emphasizing that ours is the only group in the state arts agency world that receives extra funds for professional development. The advisory committee allows us to take ownership of the design of that work.
Sarah explained the partnership grant process that each state goes through every three years and informed everyone of the opportunity to hear the review process in DC. It is a tiered review process which allows review of the education section by a panel of peers before the application goes to the panel of record (made up mostly of EDs, DDs and board members) which makes final recommendations. It is an important opportunity to inform EDs of the importance of education programming.
Mentors and new managers spent some time talking to each other - eploring each others programs and possible questions. Some of the questions included:
- how to communicate to rural communities
- how to demystify the grant process for schools
- finding time to develop an IPDP
- how to use the listserv
More later!
