What content areas will be covered?
Instructors will include university faculty, seasoned arts leaders, corporate management professionals, and other guests. Two facilitators will be present throughout the institute to help synthesize learning themes. They are: Will Maitland Weiss, Executive Director How does the mentorship component work? ALI mentors are seasoned arts leaders who are committed to nurturing the development of upcoming leaders. Participants and mentors are not matched one-to-one but rather organized into small groups. This structure is designed to foster both peer and cross-generational mentoring. Some ALI mentors are also instructors or discussion guests. All mentors participate in a variety of activities with the ALI cohort. ALI 2012 will take place during six day-long blocks in September and October. Each day is composed of two to four learning units with specific objectives for developing management skills and leadership competencies. A variety of learning methods will be employed, including PowerPoint presentations, small and large group discussions, case study analyses, guest round table conversations, workshop activities, and networking receptions. ALI 2012 will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. over the course of six days in September and October. We encourage employers to consider this time away from the office to be work-related and not subtracted from the participant’s leave time. Participants are also expected to make a reasonable effort to attend ALI alumni events in the months following the institute. The dates of these alumni events will be announced later in the year. Where will the sessions be held? All six ALI 2012 sessions will be held at a location which will later be announced:
The ALI participation fee is $500. We suggest this fee be paid by the employer from a professional development allowance if possible. A limited number of $250 scholarships are available. To be considered for a scholarship, please indicate your interest on the application form—check “yes” on the last question. You will be invoiced for this fee upon notification of acceptance, and payment is due August 1. Current managers working toward executive positions, new executives refining their skills, and management entrepreneurs seeking institutional leadership roles are all encouraged to apply. Generally, applicants should have 5–15 years experience in arts management or make a case that their other experience is applicable. May I apply if I am not currently employed by an arts organization? Yes. If you work as a freelance or consultant arts manager you may also apply. ALI will also consider applicants from for-profit, academic, government, or other nonprofit positions. The goal remains success as a nonprofit arts executive. Please note, some application questions will be slightly different for you. May I apply if my organization is not a current member of ABC/NY? You may apply regardless of your membership status. ABC/NY membership is required to enroll and we will invoice you or your organization as necessary for membership dues. Learn more about ABC/NY membership rates and benefits here. How will participants be selected? In selecting ALI participants we aim to create a cohort with a variety of experiences and skills that will foster peer-learning. Generally that means we are looking for:
No, an interview is not a required part of the application process. If we have questions about your application we may call you or request a time to meet you at our offices. How many spaces are available? We anticipate the 2012 ALI class will have 20–25 participants. A handful of applicants may be waitlisted to fill those spots if accepted participants choose not to enroll. What does the application entail?
What are you looking for in the recommendation? Some of the elements we suggest a recommender consider including are:
When is the deadline to apply? All materials—online application, résumé, and recommendation—must be received by Friday, July 6, 2012, 10:00 a.m. What if I have more questions?
