Survivor 101: Social Media Marketing and Board Development Workshops

Following on the success and feedback of the inaugural “Survivor 101” workshop in November 2012, the Regional Cultural Development Advisory Committee, through Metro Vancouver, has partnered with four municipalities throughout Metro to present SURVIVOR 101 THE NEXT GENERATION. 

This series will focus on funding, audience development, marketing and board development - key areas that participants expressed an interest in learning more about. If you are a staff member, board member, volunteer, performer, artist, start-up visionary, or tenaciously holding on to a community arts organization in the terminal stages of decline, these workshops are for you!

Social Media Marketing 101...reaching new frontiers

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, print collateral, out-of-home marketing…it’s a lot of jargon. But unraveled, these are the buzz words to marketing your arts organization to an ever-changing audience using ever-changing methodologies.

Board Development..not bored of development

A highly effective and engaged board has clarity around roles, responsibilities and aligns its work and performance with organizational values and vision.

This workshop focuses on board members’ key responsibilities and moves boards out of operations and into the “big picture”. This learning opportunity covers leadership models, modes of governing, board recruitment, meeting management, committee structure and evaluation techniques.
