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, host an area student arts conference, and offer art senior classes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

New board members elected to RWAA board from larger community; new executive director introduced and created on-going relationships with community stakeholders. New community members were evaluated on strengths and skills and ability to advocate RWAA. They were also identified as being new to RWAA board. Executive director's work was evaluated on successful meetings and on-going plans. 2: A female executive director was hired, expanded art calls brought in more art from diverse artists. The board has been led by a male executive committee. That committee added a woman as treasurer and hired a female executive director. Expanded art calls using MnArtists.org brought in a greater range of art from people of color.
