HALAWAI PAPA e hiki mai ana (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Incorporating some great feedback from trustees following our February meeting, we\u2019re in planning mode for our upcoming virtual board of trustees meetings scheduled for May 19-20. While our meeting will be busy as usual with reports from committees, finance and general updates, we\u2019re making a special effort to make space for discussion and reflection, especially in the later part of the meeting. At a later date, we will be sending trustees a brief questionnaire designed to gauge your appetite for an in-person convening in Denver scheduled for October 27-28. In anticipation of this very real possibility, we have made tentative bookings at the <\/span>Brown Palace Hotel<\/span><\/a>, where we last convened together in October of 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

KA HO\u02bbOKEKAHI ARTX e hiki mai ana (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Invitations went out last week for our third ArtX presentation scheduled for April 28 from 4-5pm MT. For this ArtX Edition we\u2019ll be joined by <\/span>Dr. Lisa Cooper<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 the James F. Fries Professor of Medicine and Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Equity in Health and Health at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Cooper will engage in a conversation with trustee Dr. Bassem Bejjani about whether insights from Dr. Cooper’s research and her efforts at eliminating health disparities be a model for arts and cultural organizations as we address issues of access and inequality in our field. It should be a fascinating presentation and discussion, so if you haven\u2019t yet RSVP to the calendar invitation, please be sure to do so!<\/span><\/p>\n

ONBOARDING NEW SRI DIRECTOR ANIKA KWINANA (DH)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Anika<\/span><\/a> has, in true WESTAF fashion, had a whirlwind of an onboarding experience over the last two weeks that has included a week-long series of briefings on the SRI department and its programs with Lani, Madalena, and David and meetings with WESTAF\u2019s Technology, Finance and Administration, Marketing and Communications, and many of our Business teams. She has also attended meetings with South Arts about our ELC partnership, with Kaisha Johnson of Women of Color in the Arts about further equity advancement work with our regional performing arts network, and a federal audit training with the National Endowment for the Arts, among other meetings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WESTAF is currently working to amplify the Put Creative Workers to Work policy proposals, which has evolved to include a $20 billion package. We have written to the White House and engaged our regional association of chambers of commerce, the Western Association of Chamber Executives. Engaging chambers is an emerging element of our strategies to create a network of advocates outside of the arts (an objective of the WESTAF 10-year vision and strategic plan). Please contact your members of Congress, the White House, and\/or your state and local chambers to engage with these proposals by using the following:\u00a0 <\/span>Put Creative Workers to Work proposal letter<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Chamber of Commerce engagement<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

David is currently working closely with Heather Noonan and Najean Lee, of the League of American Orchestras advocacy team and facilitators of the Cultural Advocacy Group, to produce the initial draft of a new set of policy recommendations that are being formulated in response to the Biden-Harris Administration comprehensive infrastructure proposal, <\/span>The American Jobs Plan<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This past week, we virtually attended another periodic Getting Creative Workers Working convening, hosted by AFTA. In this session, we <\/span>learned more abou<\/span><\/a>t the fast-emerging ways that states and localities are beginning to think about accessing ARP funds; heard more about the <\/span>various kinds of creative workforce initiatives<\/span><\/a> across the country that are impacting health, equity and work and economic development. If you can think of an initiative like this in your region, you are invited to add to this knowledge bank by submitting your own contribution through <\/span>this simple questionnaire<\/span><\/a>. We also learned about different legislation and proposals in <\/span>Kaleponi<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>Massachusetts<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Hawaii<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Nuioka<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Philadelphia<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several members of the WESTAF team attended a very useful virtual convening for SAAs and RAOs hosted by several team members from the <\/span>Office of the Inspector General (OIG)<\/span><\/a> at the National Endowment for the Arts. Most of our sister RAOs have been subject to OIG audits in the past 3-5 years. It has been at least ten years since WESTAF has been subject to an audit from the NEA OIG, which feels a little like waiting for “The Big One\u201d on the west coast! The OIG team <\/span>walked us through the auditing process<\/span><\/a> and answered lots of questions. An OIG audit will certainly happen at some point in the future, and will require significant bandwidth from our grants and finance teams, but as we reviewed the audit process as a team, our sense was that we are sufficiently prepared for the inevitable.<\/span><\/p>\n

A more thorough update will come at the May board of trustees meeting, but we recently submitted an LOI to the Sloan Foundation\u2019s <\/span>Universal Access to Knowledge<\/span><\/a> funding program. We\u2019re also following up with great interest on the merger between the Patrick McGovern Foundation and the Cloudera Foundation, and their new <\/span>Data and Society<\/span><\/a> brief has particularly resonated with us. Both of these approaches could potentially accelerate WESTAF\u2019s work at the intersection of art and technology. Additionally, we\u2019re positioning ourselves for an introduction to the<\/span> Satterberg Foundation<\/span><\/a>. We\u2019re also getting ready to submit an LOI to the <\/span>US Bank Foundation<\/span><\/a>. As you know, we have submitted a completed proposal and all requested backup material to the MJ Murdock Charitable Trust and expect a final decision on May 27. We are also expecting feedback, follow up on LOIs submitted to the Mellon Foundation and to the American Express Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n

We received a presentation and information on the Air Institute\u2019s <\/span>NCAPER Crisis Analysis and Mitigation program<\/span><\/a> for arts responders, with RAOs agreeing to put the word out to our regions to try and field a few candidates for this program. We also discussed our intentions to furnish the Mellon Foundation with a brief proposal for a follow-up funding program for the Regional Arts Resilience Fund. Lastly, we\u2019re also considering a \u201cdo-over\u201d Chairs and EDs in-person retreat (which never happened because of the pandemic) \u2014 possibly towards the end of September \u2014 in Fort Collins, CO.<\/span><\/p>\n

The HR team is working to prepare the staff and the office on Sherman street to welcome staff back for meetings or co-working needs once the pandemic has passed. WESTAF will make the office available to staff once the city of Denver moves to the \u201cgreen\u201d phase of the <\/span>COVID-19 Dial<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 The staff have been surveyed regarding their interest in using the office space as well. Amy attended a corporate responsibility presentation by our USBank representative who was integral in securing WESTAF both Paycheck Protection Program loans. Becky and Amy attended a nonprofit conference presented by our auditing firm, Plante Moran. Content included changes in tax law, accounting updates, the employee retention tax credit and managing risk. <\/span>The nationwide nonprofit survey results for 2020<\/span><\/a> which was presented at the conference can be found here for your information. With the staff getting vaccinated, the F&A team is working together to plan vacations and cover each other\u2019s work to ensure the pent up need to take vacation and travel can happen with minimal interruption in work this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Art of Recovery focuses on three main priorities: economic recovery, community connectedness & restorative justice, and public health & safety through grants for temporary artist projects and installations located throughout the City. The exhibition will continue to be updated as new installations take place. In other news, Lori accepted an invitation to present (virtually) at the upcoming Urban Creativity Conference in Lisbon this summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ZAPP (MB)<\/b><\/h2>\n

ZAPP has seen an increase in leads in the past couple of weeks with 10 reaching out through our sales site. We also learned <\/span>Events Loca<\/span><\/a>l, a competitor that launched in 2017, is shutting down because of the pandemic. We quickly focused our efforts on aggregating a list of their customers and reaching out with a promotional offer to take 50% off the setup fee. We are hoping to see a few of these efforts transpire into new sales this month!<\/span><\/p>\n

Waihoia me ka mahalo.<\/span><\/p>\n
