Suzanne Walker, Executive Director of the Midvale Arts Council “I am a new Executive Director of a Local Arts Agency. I have been looking for ways to increase my knowledge and skills to be able to take our organization to the next level. This module was so valuable! Each organization was different in regards to size, experience, service area, etc. However, we all struggle with similar issues. It was wonderful to be able to network with an amazing group of people. We were provided valuable tool kits to use in our organizations to put these best practices to use!"
