Next week, I’m traveling with a group of my MBA students to the Arts Presenters conference in New York<\/a>, where they will be presenting a special session commissioned by the association. This will be our third go-around in this initiative<\/a>, in which we unleash a group of curious graduate students on a key trend, question, or issue in the performing arts. The students get great hands-on experience exploring vexing questions. The conference and its participants get a research-focused seminar session (few and far between in association conferences). And I get to learn cool things from smart people. It’s a win-win-win.<\/p>\n

This year’s effort explores how and where performing arts professionals ”learn” — that is, find and engage resources to resolve work-related challenges and expand their knowledge of their craft and their environment. The full session description follows:<\/p>\n

\nLEARNING TO LEAD
\nWHERE AND HOW DO ARTS PROFESSIONALS EXTEND THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND ADVANCE THEIR CRAFT?<\/b>
\nAssociation of Performing Arts Presenters Annual Conference
\nSunday, January 13, 9:30 – 11:30 am
\nHilton New York and Towers<\/i>
\nIn a continually evolving industry and a rapidly revolving world, how do Arts Presenter members solve new problems and forge new skills? Do they learn primarily from structured offerings like academic training, conference workshops, executive education, and community leadership initiatives, or more through informal networks, self study, weblogs, listservs, and on-line research? Join a team of graduate students and special guests as we explore the current ecology of professional development, and the strategies that might make it stronger. This third-annual effort of the Bill Dawson Research Internship Fund will honor Bill’s life and work by connecting essential research to professional practice and by stretching what you know about how you learn.

If you’re attending the Arts Presenters conference, please come to the session to lend your voice and your insight to the conversation. Even if you can’t make the discussion, we hope you will inform the research by completing our on-line survey before January 9.<\/p>\n

\nTAKE THE ON-LINE SURVEY<\/b><\/a>
\nIt’s only 15 questions long, and it will help the student team understand the resources and networks you use to advance your craft.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
