In this weekend course we will explore the dynamics of leading and managing nonprofit and public sector cultural organizations today, including two of the major challenges facing cultural organizations: participation trends and sustainability. We will examine some of the key roles of cultural leaders: building support and working with a board; strategic planning and setting priorities; fundraising and allocating resources; evaluation, accountability, and monitoring results.  The course will include required readings, video presentations, small group work, conversations with cultural leaders, and other activities.
