I had an engaging but exhausting day here in Anchorage, chatting with the leadership members of the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA), an association of state arts agency executive directors, board members, and deputy directors. I delivered the keynote to the group yesterday morning, and facilitated a workshop in the afternoon on the ”next generation of leadership” for their field. I repeat the workshop today and then hop on the loooooooonnnnnggg flight back to home.
Lots of fascinating people. Lots of juicy challenges to attack. But for now, you’ll have to be satisfied with the text of my keynote address. It’s a first public effort for me in framing my most essential bits of knowledge about cultural policy. Please comment and criticize. I air these things to see whether or not they make any sense at all.
