Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. The website will be completely re-designed by the end of Year One. 2. Business sponsorship revenue will increase to $15,000 by the beginning of the season in Year Two. 3. Membership revenue will increase by 15% by the end of Year Two. Achieving these goals will help to ensure the viability of Dawson-Boyd Arts Association, an organization that creates an environment where the arts thrive in southwest Minnesota and does so with a high degree of support and involvement throughout the community.These goals will be evaluated very simply: The website will be re-designed, the financial records of the organization will reveal the increased revenues from sponsorships and memberships.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. The successful re-design of the Arts Association’s website -- evaluated by completion of the site, feedback from users, increased online ticket sales and increased online membership renewals. 2. Successful cultivation of targeted sponsors by the performing arts director led to increased sponsorship revenue -- though this was not a Year 1 goal -- evaluated by financial reporting for annual sponsorship revenue.
