Achia Floyd<\/p><\/div>\n

Join us in welcoming Achia Floyd to ArtsEngaged. Here she introduces herself in her own words:<\/p>\n

I believe in the transformative power of the arts, and I truly believe Community Engagement is a respectful way to push arts and cultural organizations toward a sustainable future. Accordingly, I jumped at the chance to promote Community Engagement for ArtsEngaged.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who am I?<\/em><\/p>\n

My name is Achia Floyd, and I have been a classical musician since 3 years of age. I hold a BM and MM degree in flute performance, as well as a MA degree in Arts Administration. Shortly after exiting graduate school, I began The Willow Company, an Arts Consulting agency focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as well as Social Media marketing.<\/em><\/p>\n

What do I do for ArtsEngaged?<\/em><\/p>\n

I lead Marketing and Sales for ArtsEngaged, which means I am the person behind the scenes on Social Media, the Newsletter, and sales efforts. On that note, be sure to open the next AE Newsletter, and join the new Community Engagement Network group on Facebook?\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/668362663522307\/<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

My mission is to spread the word about the greatness of Community-focused Engagement. Do you have a success story to share, have general news to share, or want to be featured in an Arts Engaged Newsletter? Want to learn more about Community Engagement Training? Need Community Engagement Resources? Email info@artsengaged.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I hope we can work together to build community, not audiences.<\/em><\/p>\n
