Emerging Leaders Bootcamp:
Call for Applications
Deadline: Friday, October 12, 2012 at Midnight
The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) is pleased to announce an "Emerging Leaders Boot Camp", a year long free program that provides leadership training for arts administrators.
Eligible applicants:
- Mid-level administrators employed by non-profit arts organizations with budgets over $100,000
- Executive Directors from non-profits arts organizations with budgetsunder $100,000
- Commitment to mandatory attendance to all sessions
- Open to participants from the New York Metropolitan Area
The "Emerging Leaders Boot Camp ” is developed from NYFA's "Artist as Entrepreneur" program that has been training artists since 2010. In extending this successful program to administrators, NYFA believes an investment in the cultural infrastructure will benefit the entire field, building stronger links and shared knowledge between artists and arts administrators.
The program will train 25 administrators in the principles of leadership involving strategic planning, goal setting, fundraising, and marketing. There will be additional focus on personnel, board development, defining a mission, and managing relationships with artists. Participants will be given skills that will assist them in their current roles in order to be more effective in their own organization as well as develop training that will help them assume leadership roles in the future.
The structure includes a week-long 5 day intensive, quarterly check-ins and a final retreat in 2013. The program is a blend of formal lectures, breakout groups, take-home assignments, and one-on-one consultations.
5 Day Intensive:
Monday, December 3 - Thursday, December 6: 9am - 1.30pm
Friday, December 7: 9am - 5pm
All sessions at NYFA, 20 Jay Street, Dumbo, Brooklyn
