Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this funding, the Bemidji Sculpture Walk will experience an increased ability to do the work of the BSW more effectively as they continue to have access to an organizing tool called Board Director which allows archiving of past work as well as access to Board members to minutes , agendas , and documents. In a survey the BSW Board will rate the use of organizing tools 4-5 on a scale (1-5 with 5 meaning excellent) for increased capacity for organization and thus effectiveness. Evaluation methods include a Board Survey evaluation administered on October 1, 2021 to measure capacity to more effectively to the tasks of the BSW in an organized and effective manner for our BSW Board (target audience).
