It can be difficult for arts organizations to come up with the budget and the time to prepare each board member for the tasks that lie ahead.

The Arts Management Program at George Mason University can help with that process through the Board Member Institute. The GMU Arts Management Program has two different informational offerings: (1) our semiannual New Board Member Orientation—a half-day training session designed for new board members in arts organizations offered once in the Fall and again in the Spring and (2) Financial Responsibilities session offered in the Spring.

Join the Arts Council on this exciting journey of creative learning as we explore the topic “Building an Arts Organization that Lasts,” led by Strathmore Executive Director, Eliot Pfanstiehl. Eliot will highlight the need for organizations to build a reputation as a well run arts organization, a responsible Board governance structure that ensures quality leadership, financial transparency that encourages private, corporate and public donors, and the right balance of margin/mission to survive in tough times.
