TETEE $1.9 TILIONA FUAFUAGA LAVAE AMERIKA TOE TOE I LE FALE (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

This<\/span> March 7 Arts Action Alert<\/span><\/a> from AFTA\u2019s Arts Action Fund sums things up nicely, but briefly: with some amendments, the Senate passed the $1.9 Trillion American Rescue Plan over the weekend. It now goes back to the House for a final vote on the same bill before heading to President Biden for his signature, with a target date for enactment of March 14, 2021. While many parts of the bill should have numerous direct and indirect impacts on our sector, of special note is that it adds $1.25 billion additional funds to the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) program, and entities can now apply for both PPP and SVOG, for a net award. Also \u2014 intact after at least four GOP amendments sought to terminate them \u2014 $135M for NEA, $135M for NEH to provide grants \u201cto prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from the coronavirus\u201d as well as funding for the IMLS and CPB. We\u2019ll know more about how this will impact WESTAF in the weeks ahead and we\u2019ll keep you posted.<\/span><\/p>\n

WESTAF FA'AFIA ANIKA KWINANA FA'ATONU O LE MAFAUFA'AAGA MA LE FA'AAFIA'I (DH)<\/b><\/h2>\n

For now, please do not share this information as we\u2019ll be making an official announcement soon. Anika Kwinana, currently manager of national education initiatives at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, will be joining WESTAF on April 5, 2021 as our incoming Director of Social Responsibility and Inclusion. Anika is Chair of the Arts Administrators of Color Network, and has organized their annual convening that brings together hundreds of leaders nationally. Anika’s credentials in arts and culture and equity are exemplary, and her work has intersected other sectors such as STEM and public health. Her work has touched the Western region, the nation as a whole, and our global community. Anika grew up in Northern California and has worked extensively in the majority of the states in the region. We are excited to welcome a new colleague to WESTAF and the Leadership Resource Team. Before April 5, Anika will be participating in some WESTAF ELC sessions in March to engage the 2021 Cohort. This <\/span>draft of the welcome announcement<\/span><\/a> is being shared, so you can get to know more about Anika – at least what appears in a bio. We are excited for Anika to be joining our team at a pivotal moment. Anika stood out to our review committee as the top candidate, being a leader who will bring much to the culture and impact of WESTAF<\/span><\/p>\n

In turn, Christina is happy to share that Mareike Bergen has been promoted to ZAPP manager, where she\u2019ll be overseeing day-to-day ZAPP operations and guiding ZAPP into its next, post-COVID-19 recovery phase. Her analytical thinking, commitment to finding solutions, and aptitude for crunching numbers make her an excellent fit for the role, and we\u2019re thrilled to have new leadership in ZAPP.\u00a0 Also, Natalie Villa will assume an expanded role under the new title of business project manager. She\u2019ll be working on large business projects, improving business workflows, standardizing SaaS processes, and guiding efforts at the intersection of business and technology for all five SaaS products. Natalie\u2019s strong organizational and time management skills and ability to understand and communicate complicated processes will be especially valuable in this role. To help support Natalie\u2019s expanded responsibilities, <\/span>we\u2019ll be adding a brand-new position<\/span><\/a>, listed as business project coordinator. This role will report directly to Natalie and will be instrumental in helping support project management efforts for all five SaaS products. Please share with your networks!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All indications are that the online ALAS session was a success. In the end, we received 104 registrations for the event, over 80 of whom were non-staff or speakers. We achieved a 63% conversion rate, and 64 unique participants at an average of 35 participants per session. In comparing these results against industry benchmarks for webinars and virtual events, we exceeded the average conversion rate (43-55%) and the average number of participants in a session (20). An event survey has been released, and we will utilize feedback to inform future ALAS convenings and the creative economy seminar we plan to host on Aventri later in the year. Recordings are available on the <\/span>event website<\/span><\/a> for anyone that registered for the event, and we will be making the recordings available to a broader audience in the coming weeks. The Convenings Team and Policy Cohort had a debrief with Christian to discuss ways to improve participant experience for future events and begin to solidify goals for ALAS\u2019 new incarnation. Ashanti McGee, district representative in the office of U.S. Representative Susie Lee of Nevada, was the first ELC alumni to be featured as a speaker in the ALAS program (a move welcomed by our alumni network), and ELC alumni as far afield as Paris, France (Cynthia Chen, ELC 17\/UT, now at Centre Pompidou) participated in the program. With the engagement of three current or former Congressional staffers in the session (also a first for ALAS), Western advocacy and policy organizations, including the Western Governors\u2019 Association, higher education institutions, private philanthropic organizations, creative industry businesses, and national advocacy groups, like the Cultural Advocacy Group and the National Independent Venue Association, we have begun to expand the reach of ALAS and engage key stakeholders segments in our national advocacy and thought leadership work as identified in the stakeholder maps established by the Alliances, Advocacy, and Policy Department in 2019.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AMERICAN EXPRESS OF ATINA'E TA'ITA'I TUSI PULE (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

WESTAF has been in a conversation with Torrie Allen, CEO of Arts Midwest as well as our sister RAOs, in imagining how the ELC program and LC network could develop into a program with national reach by leveraging the RAO reach and infrastructure.\u00a0 A brief summary of this concept (still with plenty of details to be worked out) can be gleaned from <\/span>this letter of inquiry<\/span><\/a> we recently submitted to the American Express Foundation\u2019s <\/span>Developing Leadership<\/span><\/a> Program, following up on a lead from Torrie. As you can gather, this is a preliminary inquiry that briefly lays out the history of the ELC and proposes an expanded national program. While this is a bit of a fishing expedition, it\u2019s worth noting that American Express devoted 29% of its philanthropy to its Developing Leaders program in 2019, so if this lands right we might have a shot at continuing the conversation. At the very least, it\u2019s useful language for future proposals.<\/span><\/p>\n
