AEFI Accepting Applications for Seminar on Strategy for New Artist-Endowed Foundation Leaders.
The Aspen Institute Artist-Endowed Foundations Initiative (AEFI) has announced the launch of a professional development program, the Seminar on Strategy for New Artist-Endowed Foundation Leaders that responds to the demand for professional development opportunities among new leaders entering this growing field. The 2016 Seminar will take place the week of June 6–10 in New York City.
Presented in collaboration with University of Miami School of Law, the annual Seminar is designed to support the professional development of individuals who currently have, or soon will have, new policy-setting and leadership responsibilities for artist-endowed foundations—directors, officers, trustees, board members, and senior staff. The Seminar orients new leaders to the characteristics of these distinctive organizations, including foundations’ complex business models, diverse philanthropic practices, influential art historical roles, and manifold governance and stewardship requirements.
