Talofa WESTAF komiti tausi mavaega:<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to the first biweekly of FY21. As you can guess, the biggest news of the past two weeks was learning about Chrissy Deal\u2019s departure from WESTAF and <\/span>her new role at the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation<\/span><\/a>. As I mentioned in my 9\/23 email to you all with this news, Chrissy has not just transformed WESTAF through her leadership during her seven years serving the organization, most recently as Director of Social Responsibility and Inclusion, she has devoted much of her career advocating for greater representation of communities of color in the nonprofit arts, culture, and philanthropy worlds in Colorado and beyond. Chrissy\u2019s last day at WESTAF is this coming Friday, 10\/9, and there are some additional operational details about this transition in her last update below, with more to come from us in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, here\u2019s the latest from WESTAF:<\/span><\/p>\n

FILIFILIA KERISIANO I LE NASAA PONO FA'ATONU (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Christian is excited to report that he has been elected to serve on the <\/span>Fono a le Atunu'u o Ofisa Fa'a Tufugaga a le Setete<\/span><\/a>\u2019 (NASAA) <\/span>board of directors<\/span><\/a> with a term beginning in October, 2020. Christian will join WESTAF trustees Cyndy Andrus, Karen Hanan, and Michael Faison on the NASAA board. He’s proud and humbled to represent the WESTAF organization, and by extension our western region as well as our sister regional arts organizations (RAO), on the board. This is a pretty big step for WESTAF.<\/span><\/p>\n

MJ MURDOCK FA'AMANATUGA Alofa (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

WESTAF has been invited to submit a proposal for funding to the <\/span>MJ Murdock Charitable Trust<\/span><\/a>, based in Vancouver, WA. We provided their Executive Director Steve Moore with four different thumbnail WESTAF funding scenarios, and our best thinking is to submit this proposal: Gathering, Researching and Publishing Activities Focusing on Rural Arts, Creative Economy, Cultural Policy, and Arts Advocacy. WESTAF conducts a variety of special projects and professional development opportunities for agencies, organizations, and arts professionals in the 13 western states. In addition to professional development gatherings in 2021, like our State Arts Agency Executive Director Forum (January) and our Arts Leadership and Advocacy Seminar (February), our Leaders of Color Institute and Rural Arts Meeting (both early spring), we\u2019re also excited about an upcoming Creative Economy Symposium planned for September, 2021. WESTAF recently published an<\/span> Arts + le Lipoti o Sauniga i Sisifo i Sisifo<\/span><\/a>, an outcome of our 2020 convening. Our research work in rural arts, creative economy, and arts advocacy could all be enhanced and accelerated through some carefully directed funding from the Trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

FONOTAGA OKETOPA BOT (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Planning for our second virtual trustees meeting continues. You can see our draft agenda coming together <\/span>iinei<\/span><\/a>. The October meeting is traditionally our annual meeting, where we will review and approve the annual operating budget for the upcoming fiscal year. In addition, we will have a day of committee meetings, a new board member orientation, and then be joined by staff and our EIC members-at-large for an equity-focused workshop on October 28. Then the trustees meeting on October 29 will be capped off by a Zoom happy hour when we will bid a fond farewell to departing trustees Joaquin Herranz, Jr. and Michael Faison. You won\u2019t want to miss it!<\/span><\/p>\n

FA'ATAUINA ARTX (CG)<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Development Committee hosted the very first ArtX presentation for trustees, featuring demographer and statistician Michael Seman presenting on his paper, co-authored with Richard Florida, <\/span>Lost Art: Measuring COVID-19\u2019s devastating impact on America\u2019s Creative Economy<\/span><\/a>. Everyone on the Zoom presentation agreed that it was a fascinating (if sobering) presentation and ensuing conversation. Thank you to Karen Hanan, Ann Hudner, and the whole Development Committee for hatching the ArtX concept \u2014 a great professional learning supplement in this in-person-less virtual age for the board of trustees. The session was recorded in its entirety, and we\u2019ll make sure that we distribute it to our trustees and staff soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

FA'AVAE MA FESOOTA'IGA (LH)<\/b><\/h2>\n

In case you missed it, <\/span>Creative Vitality List #2<\/span><\/a> launched on Wednesday, just in time to close out the fiscal year with a bang. The team will soon begin work on a presentation that recaps reach and engagement for the campaign, including social media activity, partner shares, and media hits. The MarComm team continues to make changes to westaf.org and will be releasing a brand new homepage, as well as a new RAO page this week. The team is also heavy into planning for FY21, working on finalizing draft marketing plans for CaFE, CVSuite, PAA, and GO Smart, based on the business team’s OKRs, and will also soon begin work on the Master Comm Plan, which covers communications and distribution plans for programs and services under the SRI and AAP divisions, as well as WESTAF’s regular communications, including the new <\/span>WESTAF Now<\/span><\/i>. The team is currently working with a print vendor to produce a small run of the <\/span>Arts + the Rural West<\/span><\/i> Seminar Session Report<\/span><\/a>, so feel free to email Leah if you would like a hard copy. Finally, WESTAF staff were able to participate in another storytelling session with Common Notice exploring <\/span>WESTAF’s Guiding Principles<\/span><\/a>, the second in a series of five.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Communications cohort met to brainstorm what topics they wanted to cover in their first meeting with their TAs that would be happening on October 5.
