Professional Development

Here are some interesting upcoming professional development opportunities for Arts Organizations

ONGOING - Introduction to Emergency Preparedness for Performing Arts Organizations

Free Webinar by Lyrasis

Localized emergencies, regional disasters, and catastrophic events can have a devastating impact on performing arts organizations where even a brief loss of business can threaten sustainability. This free 90 minute webinar will provide an introduction to why emergency preparedness is critical to protect your organization from external risks and internal vulnerabilities. These include human caused and natural crises. You will learn the typical process and contents of a plan, and receive information about resources to help with planning.

This webinar is appropriate for attendees representing large and small performing arts organizations as well as those with and without their own performance facilities. Executive and management staff will find this webinar useful, as well as H.R., finance, communications, marketing, technical, and front-of-house staff.

This session is part of a series presented by the Performing Arts Readiness (PAR) project. Other topics in this series will include Risk Assessment, Business Continuity Planning, Disaster Networks, and Venue Safety.

The PAR project is funded through a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
