Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More Minnesotans, especially those in the Southwest Minnesota Region, will be able to participate in the arts.A. Many of the goals are quantifiable: 1. To increase audience attendance. 2. To increase Chorale membership. 3. To increase singers' commitment; i.e. to average fewer than one absence per rehearsal cycle. B. The non-quantifiable goal of improving quality can be calculated by comparing the music we sang at the choir's beginning with the pieces we are doing currently.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We received 501(C)(3) status.
