About the Coffee Chat
Recalibrating for Recovery
Throughout 2020, the pandemic stripped away the cosmetic façades of many frail-to-failing societal systems. From health inequities and education to childcare and economic mobility, the broad spread revelation that this fragility stems from decades of decay has been a hard pill to swallow. But now that these fractures, breaks and even chasms have been fully exposed, arts organizations are uniquely positioned to communicate these disparities while rebuilding your organizations in ways that will change the trajectory of the communities you serve for generations to come.
Join Sheri Chaney Jones, president of Measurement Resources Company and SureImpact, Inc., as she shares how arts organizations will not only recover, but how they will emerge as leaders in vocalizing the need for creating a more equitable and sustainable future for all. In this session, we’ll explore how arts organizations can capitalize on the collective experience of the pandemic to inspire others to achieve real lasting change. We’ll also share six ways to recalibrate for recovery so that you can continue to move your mission forward in 2021.
