SAEM Next! Session on Performing Arts

The SAEM Next! session on performing arts on June 24, 2020 featured:

Caitlin Green, senior consultant and client development officer, TRG Arts
Emily McCoy '17, manager of donor relations, Pittsburgh Public Theater
Janis Burley Wilson, CEO and president, The August Wilson Center
Rachel Winkler '14, senior manager, individual giving and development operations, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts

It was an engaging one-hour of discussion addressing the following questions related to the performing arts industry:

What is your organization/clients doing to pivot during the pandemic?
How do you think the arts are going to change their business models after COVID-19?
What have you or your clients been doing to stay connected to your patrons/donors?
What words of encouragement can you offer to our students and alumni regarding job opportunities that may exist after the pandemic is over?

The performing arts session was moderated by SAEM Associate Professor Teresa Gregory, M.F.A., and SAEM student Zachariah Washington '23.
