The Governance for Social Impact panel discussion explores equity, relevance, and the need for new governance models at cultural institutions.
Four cross-sector leaders and innovators will discuss the future of governance in non-profit and community-based cultural organizations as part of a day-long convening of trustees and directors from California museums, theatres, and performing arts groups.
The panelists are:
Roberto Bedoya, cultural affairs manager for the City of Oakland, innovator, thought leader, and champion of art-based civic engagement projects and creative placemaking
Judy Belk, president and CEO of The California Wellness Foundation, and a frequent writer and speaker on organizational ethics, race, and social change
Cedric Brown, chief of community engagement at the Kapor Center for Social Impact, working to increase diverse representation in the high-tech sector
Jeff Chang, director of the Stanford Institute for Diversity in the Arts and author of numerous works on culture and race in the US, including a new collection of essays, We Gon' Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation (Picador, September 2016).
The event is presented by The James Irvine Foundation’s New California Arts Fund. It was developed by leaders from California Shakespeare Theater, Oakland Museum of California, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, with planning support from Socius Group. It will be moderated by Diedra Barber, lead facilitator at Scheier & Barber + Group.
The livestreamed panel discussion will kick off a day-long convening exploring the need for cultural institutions to reimagine the roles and operating practices of their governing boards. As arts organizations pivot to become more equitable, inclusive, and relevant, there is a growing sense of urgency—and opportunity—to consider governance strategies that advance these goals.
Governance for Social Impact was conceived to bring board members directly into the conversation about equity and relevance, and to explore how governing boards can and should be part of efforts to engage diverse communities. The event will address questions such as:
Given the evolving role of the arts nonprofit within our communities, how will an effective board look and behave differently?
How do we resolve our dependence on our boards as fundraisers as we ensure they represent our full communities?
What new governance strategies have been tried—within the arts sector and beyond—and what lessons can we learn? Do we need to make modest changes or create a new governance model?
How do we initiate and sustain new approaches to governance? What can we do today, and what do we need to prepare to do in the future?
