ACHF Arts Access
6: "The infrastructure of arts organizations is strengthened through access to operating funds, professional development and best practices sharing." The consultant to be funded will help us improve the strength and stability of our organization by increasing the common vision of our board along with creating the necessary goals and documents to provide stability to the current and future board. 6: As preparation for the process of working with a consultant, board members were asked to complete a set of questions from a research project found on the Propel Nonprofits website called "Coloring Outside the Box...One Size Does Not Fit All In Nonprofit Governance" by Kim Sundet Vanderwall and Ellen Benavides, 2007. Prior to our work with the consultant, board members will also be asked to respond to the following questions: Do board members feel have a common vision? Do they know what the organization's goals are? What is their confidence level in the policies and procedures that are now in place? How would they rate the stability of our organization? Our consultant will review collated responses to these questions to gain insight into working with our board. Following the one day retreat, the board will again answer the previous questions. Responses will be compared to determine of they are more in line with common vision and better understanding of our common goals. A final report will be issued by the consultant and reviewed by the board.
