\nFollowing a presentation to the Arts & Culture Leaders of Color (ACLC) Fellowship in January, Nikki Kirk, equity in arts leadership program manager at Americans for the Arts, recently invited David to participate in a dialogue with <\/span>Sandra Aponte<\/span><\/a>, program manager of community impact at the Chicago Community Trust about equitable grantmaking and the ways in which emerging leaders, particularly leaders of color, can advance this practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\nDavid has been invited to serve on a panel \u201cGrassroots Advocacy – From a Single Seed\u201d at the Wyoming Arts Summit on 11\/2\/21. WAAN member Wyoming Arts Alliance organized the panel and will also include <\/span>Erin Taylor<\/span><\/a> of Taylor Strategies & Consulting LLC, the WESTAF supported lobbyist in Wyoming, and Rebekah Smith, director, Wyoming Women\u2019s Foundation. The panel description reads: \u201cYour voice and your vote are the most important arts advocacy tools. Merge those tools with like-minded others in your community and you become a powerful local force for the arts. Find out more about how succeeding as an arts advocate starts small and begins with your neighbors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAs the first month of Q1 comes to an end, the MarComm team has been conducting research and rethinking what types of creative avenues we want to take in FY22 to better reach our audiences. We are in the process of drafting a MarComm Recap and Report for FY21 with detailed metrics across various products, programs, and services to evaluate our work over the past year and reflect on our wins, losses, and what we can improve on for the new fiscal year. The team has also begun a self-paced <\/span>Humanity-Centered UI\/UX Course<\/span><\/a> that is made up of 5 modules and 26 sub-lessons to help UX and tech professionals deepen their awareness and practices in navigating deeper UX topics with humility, openness, and courage so that they can understand how to craft equitable and inclusive experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe whole department participated in the board meeting events this past week as well as worked on preparing documents as necessary. The September financials were included in the board meeting documents and can be reviewed <\/span>maanei<\/span><\/a> on page 16. As the memo summarizes, WESTAF\u2019s year-end deficit is approximately -$200,000 when the NEA payment timing is removed. This is lower than the budgeted -$300,000 deficit. A reminder that the deficit for FY21 and for the FY22 budget is covered by the cash surplus gained in FY20. In addition to the financials, the FY22 budget (page 11) and a revised investment policy (page 22) were reviewed and approved by the board. Audit preparation continues with a deadline of this Friday to ensure all income adjustments are posted within the financial system.<\/span><\/p>\n
