Community Arts Leadership Academy
Established in 2003, Community Arts Leadership Academy (CALA) is a challenging peer-to-peer leadership learning experience designed for Board and staff leaders of non-profit arts and cultural organizations as well as community leaders who value the importance of the arts and cultural sector in Michigan. ArtServe Michigan is pleased to offer this valuable program in collaboration with the Partners in Performance and its Founder/President John McCann.

Contact Simón Perazza, Director of Constituent Relations, at simon 'at' artservemichigan 'dot' org or 248.912.0760 ext 4#. “The ArtServe Community Arts Leadership Academy has been vital in helping me focus on program mission and institutional values amid the torrent of duties specific to non-profit institutions. The connections made between the regions are significant in promoting regional as well as state growth in the realm of arts and culture. My perception of being an artist and arts administrator in Michigan has changed as a result of this experience and the scope of possibilities has been significantly expanded. All my thanks to ArtServe and all who have supported this effort. Michigan and the Midwestern corridor will reap the rewards.” “This seminar goes beyond material of a business course. I have attended various kinds of workshops and seminars, which discuss responsibilities of board members, fiscal accountability, strategic planning, etc. However, this seminar provided material, which was thought provoking, enabling me to enhance my organization. It has empowered me as a leader to strive to achieve the purpose of this organization and to search and grasp new or different opportunities.” “After 35 years in business participating in dozens of management seminars and training sessions I am convinced this is the best one I have ever attended. Artserve has put all the right pieces in place to help community arts leaders succeed. Every arts leader in Michigan should attend.” |
