I can track most of the most important moments of my career in nonprofits arts with experiences with Americans for the Arts. Whether it's live in-person convenings, the exhaustive and accessible research, or their movement building policy work, I've benefited enormously from the resources made available to me as an Americans for the Arts member.

As a member of the Emerging Leaders Council from 2009 to 2012, I had the opportunity to serve my colleagues while reaping the benefits of building and serving a national network, experimenting with new methods of service including audience and content development, event planning and presenting not to mention the requisite commiseration and merry-making. Those three years were transformative.

Students enrolled in Eastern Michigan University’s (EMU) Arts Management Programs (Undergraduate & Graduate) produce two-day music festivals, art competitions, face and body paint tailgating activities, art crawl events, and reality TV shows as part of an academic service learning project and student organizational activity designed to give members their first experiences as arts administrators.
