Aloha puna, n\u0101 kahu WESTAF a me n\u0101 hoa hana:<\/span><\/p>\n

This gorgeous Denver spring weather almost made me forget that we\u2019re now officially <\/span>half way through<\/span> WESAF\u2019s fiscal year! How did this happen? Let us skim right over that, and convey that we are so very joyful to welcome Anika Kwinana to WESTAF (her first day is today, April 5!) and also to announce that Moana Palalei Hoching is also joining us as a senior policy associate working with David. More information about Moana is included below. These sharp and savvy experts will provide much needed leadership, oversight and support in our SRI and AAP divisions, and we couldn\u2019t be more thrilled that they\u2019re joining the WESTAF community. From there, lots to report \u2014 including a chockablock marketing\/communications check-in from a very busy Leah, and some newsy and very cool business updates \u2014 so let\u2019s get to it, shall we? But wait! Before we go any further, let\u2019s kick this off right with news of a superb trustee achievement…<\/span><\/p>\n

We are considering changes to our HR & Operations post-pandemic and planning for the shared use of our offices until the lease expires in Dec. Amy researched state tax and legal implications of staff traveling and working from other states per the recommendation of the Employers Council. Amy scheduled time with Anika and Becky for training on how to manage SRI financials. The 990 tax form and audit draft were approved by the excom and the full board via emailed unanimous consent. The<\/span> document retention policy<\/span><\/a> was reviewed by the excom and shared with all staff who are asked to consider the policy and how it applies to their paper files. An overview of the benefits provided with a <\/span>membership for WeWork<\/span><\/a> was also discussed with the excom and shared with the full staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

This past week, the leadership team participated in a two-hour coaching session with Val Atkin from <\/span>Well Street Consulting<\/span><\/a>. This was a powerful level-set meeting with the team around components of trust and psychological safety as well as how to develop a safe and effective feedback culture within the whole organization, something that we\u2019re angling towards as a component of our professional development and evaluation process with Insights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of <\/span>Insights<\/span><\/a>, Christian had a productive catch-up conversation with our Insights representative Kirsti Tcherkoyan regarding our integration of this evaluation and feedback tool at WESTAF. The adoption of Insights is going well since we introduced it to the team last year. The more use the system gets, the more useful it will become to the whole organization in a feedback, personal and professional development capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n

HULI HOPE (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

We have received dozens of resumes for the position of <\/span>executive coordinator.<\/span><\/a> We hope to identify a successful candidate by the beginning of May so that Natalie S. will be able to train this new person through the organizational process leading up to May board meeting, then have the new executive coordinator full onboarded through the summer and into the fall board meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The data, published by the <\/span>U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis<\/span><\/a> (BEA) in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (Arts Endowment), are an authoritative source for the value of the creative economy in every state. In addition, NASAA also released the <\/span>Arts and Creativity Strengthen Our Nation<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>which<\/span> shows advocates how to make a case for public support of the arts as a core necessity\u2014rather than as an optional nicety. Its recommendations originate from extensive message testing and research on the values that motivate elected officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

The communications cohort has settled into a monthly meeting scheduled which is feeling pretty good for the team. At our last meeting, cohort members reported on some internal research including refining a survey that will be sent to WESTAF internal and external stakeholders. In addition, we are finishing up an evaluation of WESTAF\u2019s brand assets. Our next meeting is scheduled for April 7th and we will be checking-in on the moving parts to this project. We will also be moving into a research compilation phase on that date. Once we compile the research we will move into the first phase of our recommendations. The policy cohort met with our Trustee Advisors on March 19th to review<\/span> the scoping doc<\/span><\/a> and address any concerns. The document is now finalized and will be utilized as a guide to identify upcoming initiatives for the cohort. Co-leaders, Janae and Justine, met with David on Tuesday, March 30th to recap their meeting with the TAs and identify project proposals for the group. The next cohort meeting will be on April 20th.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last few weeks, we released a handful of significant announcements, including <\/span>our new Director of Social Responsibility<\/span><\/a>, ka <\/span>2021 ELC program cohort<\/span><\/a>, an <\/span>ELC alumna joining David\u2019s team<\/span><\/a>, the extension of the <\/span>KaapuniWest<\/span><\/a> 2021 application deadline program, and <\/span>a statement on the murder of Asian American women and others in Georgia<\/span><\/a>. In mid-March, Leah participated in a kickoff RAO communications meeting, to provide an opportunity for RAO communications staff to explore possibilities for increased information sharing and cross-promotion of stories and grant opportunities across the six regionals. As a first step, the group has created a shared document with all six RAO\u2019s tentpole activities for the year for better information sharing. We will meet again in mid-April to continue discussing the many great ideas that were shared in the March meeting and plan to meet on a monthly basis moving forward. The April edition of WESTAF Now is nearly complete and will be delivered in mid-April. We have been submitting content monthly for the National Endowment for the Arts Newsletter and are currently working on the Spring RAO Activity Report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GO Smart \u2014 We recently launched our first paid social media video ads for GO Smart, which will run throughout the month of April, and are working on making further improvements to the GO Smart sales site, currently focusing on the Features page. Our 2021 blog and SEO strategy has been initiated, with <\/span>a March blog<\/span><\/a> (authored by WESTAF\u2019s new communications coordinator, Natalie Scherlong!) on tips for creating strong grant proposals. CaFE \u2014 the team recently wrapped up its Q1-Q2 campaign targeting galleries, which generated a list of 40 qualified leads for followup by Ken. With both the email and social media campaigns performing so well, we are working on further segmenting our marketing list of over 2,800 potentials to identify additional audiences based on our CaFE personas to develop a Q3 marketing campaign focused on a smaller, more targeted group. CVSuite \u2014 the CVSuite team is making great progress on its third Creative Vitality List (see CVSuite biweekly recap for more info), expected to launch at the end of April. The MarComm team is launching a new Google ads campaign in April specifically around <\/span>CVSuite\u2019s Reports<\/span><\/a> in hopes of increasing traffic to the reports page to generate more sales around those offerings. We are also planning to launch our first set of paid social media video ads in Q3. PAA \u2014 Sam recently worked with Lori to design a fun, fresh newsletter to the PAA master list of 4,566 contacts. The newsletter highlighted special projects in collaboration with Mural Arts Philadelphia and featured some of PAA\u2019s collection spotlights, new features and enhancements. So far, the newsletter generated three leads and significantly increased traffic to the PAA website. We are currently working on drafting copy for PAA\u2019s first paid social media video ad, planned for an early Q3 launch.<\/span><\/p>\n

CAFE (RV<\/b>)<\/span><\/h2>\n

The CaFE team will be meeting in early April for an OKR Q2 recap. The team will use this time to report on goals, work in progress, update metrics, and summarize accomplishments and blockers. Testing rounds on the new admin ui continues; however, the release date planned for end of April may need to shift and is undetermined at this time. This month on the CaFE Corner blog we take a deeper look at <\/span>“How Two Organizations Use CaF\u00c9 to Select Artworks and Artists.”<\/span><\/a> Lastly, here’s a small sample (from over 200!) of opportunities accepting entries on CaFE:\u00a0 <\/span>Morean Center for Clay Artist in Residence 2021<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>RFQ for Creative Placemaking<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Dance: an Esther Rolle inspired exhibition<\/span><\/a>, a <\/span>Comunidad<\/span><\/a>: A Hispanic\/ Latinx Heritage Month Exhibition & Residency Opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

PUBLIC ART ARCHIVE (LG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

PAA has been busy working on a number of enhancements to artwork detail pages and collection-specific maps that will continue to improve the user experience and leverage more of PAA\u2019s technical infrastructure for the benefit of paid clients. PAA completed the import of <\/span>Park City\u2019s public art collection<\/span><\/a> and recently submitted a proposal to Summit County for the use of the PAA CMS and showcase features. The team continues to work on closing the sale of the PAA CMS to four potential clients; however, while these organizations will likely convert into sales, it won\u2019t be until later in Q3 or Q4 because of budget constraints and schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n
