Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of CAS funding, NLOC experienced stability that allowed the Board to focus on: increasing the number in the volunteer pool of performers and builders; planning to expand audiences through social media outreach; and maintaining bridge-building efforts with the Native community. Although NLOC had acquired financial support for the production of MY FAIR LADY, NLOC's future relationship with Armory Square has not been formally addressed.
