Serving Changing Communities

At Serving Changing Communities, participants and presenters discussed how UAFs continue to evolve to meet the needs of our nation’s changing communities. The focus was on such issues as the growing interest in accountability and impact measurement, embracing diversity and regionalism, the challenges of the relationships between the UAFs and their member institutions, and how to make a more powerful case for the relevance of UAFs in today’s world. UAF leaders also explored the UAF's transition in perception from a collection and grant-making agency to the community’s trusted resource for encouraging sustainability and excellence in the local arts sector.
