We are happy to announce NASAA's June 22 web seminar on Boosting State Economic Growth: Five Roles for Arts, Culture and Design.
The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA) will share a preview of the findings of a new report from the National Governor's Association (NGA), Boosting State Economic Growth: Five Roles for Arts, Culture and Design. The report, due to be released later this summer, demonstrates how creative industries, creative place-making and arts education can help states address their most pressing economic challenges. Presenters will include:
- Laura Scanlan, Director of State and Regional Partnerships at the NEA
- Mary Jo Waits, Director of the Economic, Human Services and Workforce Division at the NGA Center for Best Practices
- Kelly Barsdate, Chief Program and Planning Officer, National Assembly of State Arts Agencies
The one-hour session will include highlights of the research findings, time for Q∓A and tips for using the material in your own state.
