As a longtime partner in WESTAF&#8217;s regional touring program, it was a rich learning opportunity for Chrissy, who is gradually assuming responsibility of WESTAF&#8217;s TourWest program and key relationships with leaders in the touring and presenting field. (TourWest is our competitive grant program that provides subsidies to arts and community organizations for the presentation of out-of-state touring performers and literary artists.) Equity has become a key focus for WAA, which presented an opportunity for staff to connect with leaders from organizations like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenofcolorinthearts.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women of Color in the Arts<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/elteatrocampesino.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El Teatro Campesino<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apap365.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Association of Performing Arts Professionals<\/span><\/a>, as well as colleagues from other RAOs and artists of color.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/gazette.com\/news\/manitou-springs-to-ask-voters-to-approve-arts-tax-in\/article_68cfd290-be1f-11e9-8f40-d3c8357d2375.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">funding issue is coming up on the ballot in Manitou Springs, CO<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">this November 2019, and if it\u2019s successful it could be replicated in 20-30 other CO districts in 2020 and beyond. This raises a really interesting issue around WESTAF\u2019s advocacy funding, which has been scaled to lobbying (mostly funding) bills through legislative sessions. This is effective, but what if this or other resources are also targeted more locally, but with a statewide impact? Such as advocacy training at a local\/rural level that also includes volunteer recruitment, ballot language and talking point development. In the meantime, public art is having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpr.org\/2019\/09\/05\/is-public-art-having-a-moment-in-colorado\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">somewhat of a moment<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #333333;\">in Colorado.

Our goal is for Natalie to become full-time as of 10\/1, but it&#8217;s dependent upon the hiring and retaining of a replacement part-time tech assistant.
