Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
| Our new community engagement director will seek area consultants that reflect our community in categories of race, gender, income and sexual identity. Progress will be measured by the total number of new members added to our cultural consultant committee and that these committee members represent our community across all demos. 2: Utilize these advisors on our community consultant committee to gain a deeper understanding of what gaps exist in arts programming for our community. Progress will be measured by the number of community partnerships developed around programming events, as well as by the types of art we are offering to bridge gaps in programming. |
Measurable Outcome(s)
Our new community engagement director recruited more area consultants that reflect our community in categories of race, gender, income and sexual identity. Our community engagement director worked with current and developed new relationships with important community partners and recruited sixteen new volunteer consultants from a variety of backgrounds and walks of life, from all over the Duluth area. 2: The community engagement director worked with these consultants each month to assess current programming and new programming to meet needs of community. Several new, important relationships were developed with key and diverse community partners and several new programs were developed / implemented as a direct result of the feedback from the community consultants. The community response was amazing!
