Focus Groups Announced: Arts Council Needs Your Input

Greetings from UCCCA:

As you are aware, UCCCA is moving forward shortly to conduct a search for a new Executive Director and determine the future direction of the organization. With the current economy, our organization needs to set priorities for the best use of its resources. In order for the Board to be well informed we need input and thoughts from our various constituencies. To that end, Justine Woolner-Wise and I will be conducting focus groups in October. Each will aimed at a particular group of constituents, but feel free to attend any one of the three that is convenient for you. The groups will be held at the Wilber Mansion beginning at 5:30 p.m. and ending no later than 7:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be available and we are requesting that you RSVP so adequate planning can take place. Also, please feel free to invite others to attend if they are interested and were not contacted directly by us. Let us know if you and others are coming.
