Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We will build relationships with members of groups that have been underserved by the arts.Number of members who call/text the number. Number of inquiries received from the number. Opportunities to list the number--website, Facebook, brochures, posters, ads, word of mouth. Ease of putting on presentations with technological equipment at open house, community events and where ever else the organization is invited to speak.
Measurable Outcome(s)
To date, the phone has been used to send and receive text messages regarding questions about Crow River Area Youth Orchestra, messages for directors, absence reporting and communication with board members and individuals. Efficiency has increased because of the ability to multi-task with new computer accessories. The equipment was used to prepare a presentation when Crow River Area Youth Orchestra was given the opportunity to share organizational information at a public meeting of Hutchinson Schools. This presentation was included in the live and repeat broadcasts of the meeting on the local television station.
