Future Leadership™ Event Schedule

Future Leadership is a community-wide partnership to meet the professional development needs of our next wave of arts and cultural executives. We are currently working with the community to design the first event in the Future Leadership program.

Join in the design process

The design for all Future Leadership events will be a collaborative process. Each step of the way, we will engage you in an open design dialogue. The development process started in the spring of 2008 with a number of community discussions. The current, intensive design phase kicked off with a survey distributed in late August to approximately 900 arts and cultural professionals to dig deeper into specific goals, challenges, and professional development needs.

The results of this survey are now available, and open for comment and continued feedback from everyone in the community. We are currently crafting design concepts based on this information and the continued online discussion. We will post our developments to the Program Design Blog for further comment and refinement, allowing us to select the most valuable concept for the community.

Additional events and services

We will use ongoing cycles of experimentation and evaluation as we continue to develop the Future Leadership program. Central to this work will always be the collaborative, community-wide strategy being used to create the first event. You can follow along and contribute your thoughts to our ongoing program design on the Program Design Blog.
