\u4eb2\u7231\u7684 WESTAF \u793e\u533a\uff1a<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is always a very busy time of the year. The last few weeks seem to have especially borne that out, so I am ecstatic to be coming to you from the early October of our newly minted fiscal year \u2014 FY22! Wow. <\/span>Huge<\/span> thanks to all of the WESTAFers who have been building budgets, plans, goals and OKRs on top of all of the regular work. First off, I wanted to extend hearty congratulations to our colleagues Kelly Ernst, promoted to CVSuite manager, and to Trevor McElhaney, who has the new title of senior data analyst. Way to go, team! As you read on, you\u2019ll learn about trustees and staff who have masked up and hit the road to represent WESTAF across the West these past few weeks. As we turn our attention to the October annual board meeting, we\u2019re working hard to develop staff and trustee experiences in both the in-person and virtual worlds, so that you can attend productively and with peace of mind, wherever you are. We\u2019re looking forward to sharing more agenda details with you soon! Until then, here\u2019s the latest from WESTAF World:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n WESTAF \u4ee3\u8868\u79d1\u7f57\u62c9\u591a\u5dde\u521b\u610f\u4ea7\u4e1a\u521b\u610f\u533a\u8ba4\u8bc1\u5ba1\u67e5\u5c0f\u7ec4 (DH)<\/b>

\nFrom September 22-23, the executive committee of the WESTAF board of trustees met for <\/span>their first in-person meeting<\/span><\/a> since September of 2019 in Sacramento, CA. The committee attended to several matters relating to the conclusion of the fiscal year, including a motion to bring the FY22 operating budget forward to the full board for a vote at the October annual meeting. In addition, the full agenda included a report from the development committee and the equity and inclusion committee. During day two of the meeting, the committee grouped their conversation into three primary areas: culture, goals and aspirations; investments, fundraising and grant making, and hazards, unknowns and existential threats. The conversation was rich and vibrant, and while we weren\u2019t able to get to everything in the agenda, the executive committee was able to carry out its oversight duties with diligence and gave Christian and Amy much to consider as the organization moves into FY22. Our evening dinner featured some fabulous Boise-based guests, including EIC committee member and former trustee Michael Faison, as well as ELC alumni Monique Michel, Leta Neustaeder and Dayo Ayodele. In addition to meetings, the committee was also treated with a visit to the remarkable <\/span>James Castle House<\/span><\/a>, home of the enigmatic 20th-century artist, as well as a visit to the <\/span>Global Lounge,<\/span><\/a> a multi-cultural arts, music and dance hub founded by Dayo, where we met with some amazing Boise-based arts leaders and performers. We were also lucky to be visiting Boise during <\/span>Treefort Music Festival<\/span><\/a>, a three-day showcase of emerging contemporary musical artists. Special thanks to treasurer Lange, who was able to provide wristbands for the event as a sponsor of the <\/span>Wyoming Music Showcase<\/span><\/a> (which was awesome). <\/span>Here are some pictures<\/span><\/a> from our time in Boise.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nRAO \u9886\u5bfc\u529b\u9759\u4fee\u4f1a (CG)<\/b>
\nFrom September 27 – 29, the executive directors, chairs, vice chairs and chair-elects of each of<\/span> the six regional arts organizations (RAOs)<\/span><\/a> met for<\/span> their first in-person retreat<\/span><\/a> since 2019 in Burlington, VT. In addition to Christian, WESTAF chair Alvarado and vice chair\/chair-elect Broughton were in attendance. Most attendees were there in-person, with four board members from other RAOs zooming into the meeting. The location was Fort Collins, CO \u2014 where we had been planning to hold our retreat, pre-pandemic. The facilitator was <\/span>Marc Vog<\/span><\/a>l, who guided the agenda very effectively and successfully. On Monday, the executive directors met in person to cover a variety of potential and in-flight projects. This was followed by an ice-breaking dinner for all the participants. All day Tuesday, we had a super-productive (but exhausting!) session, where together we landed on four core concepts that we agreed were a matter of priority and focus for the RAO collective \u2014 both in our individual and collaborative work \u2014 moving forward: serving BIPOC-focused\/serving organizations; serving individual artists; investing in regional and national advocacy efforts, and “modeling togetherness\u201d through our efforts to work co-creatively, to encourage collaboration and knowledge-sharing at all levels of our organizations and to focus on fair and positive work cultures. A variety of programs currently under consideration\/evaluation \u2014 involving partners like the NEA, the Wallace Foundation, or others \u2014 fit into some of these foci, with other initiatives still under review. The RAOs (including board members, and even those on zoom all day!) left the session feeling energized, holding even more mutual trust and collegiality, and gained a deeper understanding of their daily work together and apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

WESTAF will disburse grants at an average level of $35,000 each to the 44 awardees. The SRI team has sent out award letters and is receiving signed agreements and financial statements from these new grantees before funds can be transmitted.\u00a0 We expect to receive all documentation by October 15.\u00a0 For detailed information about the representation and spread of the organizations, <\/span>please review the graphs here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
