Greetings! 

 

We had our first ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM SERIES last Monday, May 7. The inaugural topic was on the future of classical performing arts groups in Sacramento. We had a crowd of 40+ and hope to continue the conversation and delve deeper.  Click here for the notes.  If you attended or are interested in the topic or series, please take our short Survey here. To read a relevant report on the topic, go to Bright Spots Leadership.

Where's the Money continues! It's not too late to sign up for this week's workshops:
This Friday we have our first of two workshops on Using Social Media for Fundraising. Register online or download flyer. This Saturday we have Board Training for Nonprofit Arts organizations with Kay Sprinkel Grace! And don't forget about our Coaching program for Executive Directors (click here).

Look for our new opportunity, the Arts Innovation Fund, in partnership with the Sacramento Region Community Foundation. This year we are changing it up a bit, so click here to find out more.
