Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Board and staff join, participate and assume a leadership role on community committees and promote the inclusion of the arts in projects and events. Identify at least three area project committees in which arts could be included. Board members and staff will volunteer, promote arts inclusion and provide a report at the membership annual meeting. 2: RWAA will expand and prioritize the participation of minorities, youth, and women on the board, committees, in gallery shows and events. Annually feature one or more culturally diverse art event in the RWAA program, increase diverse representation on the board (currently one minority/two woman members) host an area student arts conference, offer art classes at Red Wing Senior Center.

Measurable Outcome(s)

RWAA board and staff serve as leaders on more than ten community committees to promote arts inclusion. Staff assumes responsibility to collect and communicate to the board on community projects for which board and staff are leading arts inclusion. Results of these efforts are regularly included in board meeting reports. 2: RWAA held four events this year specifically designed to promote participation in the arts by divers groups. RWAA board has one minority and five women members. RWAA standards emphasize including a diversity component in all program planning. Director reviews and reports to the board on results of this planning and outcomes of these projects.
