Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. Real or perceived barriers to arts participation and arts access are identified and addressed. The secretary and librarian will determine a plan for action to distribute, evaluate and summarize surveys in 2019.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The librarian and secretary did up the survey cards and handed them out at our engagements. The surveys were tabulated and will be shared with the musicians. The directors will also use the survey information when they pick music.
