2014 BOLZ CENTER COLLEGIUM, FRIDAY OCTOBER 3, 2014, IN THE WISCONSIN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Please join us for the 2014 Bolz Center Collegium, Friday October 3, 2014, in the Wisconsin School of Business!
The day will feature keynote presentations around the topic of 'Creating Impact Through Shared Leadership and Collaboration,' with special addresses by Bolz Center alumna, Wendy Thomas of Leadership Tulsa, and Janet Brown, Grantsmakers in the Arts (see bios at bottom!).
The schedule of events for Collegium 2014 will run as follows (all times are CST):
8:00am: Check-in; morning breakfast items available
8:30am-8:45am: Welcome Address by Bolz Center Director, Sherry Wagner-Henry, and Bolz Center Advisory Board member, Jennifer McFarland
8:45am-10:45am: Discussion and panel led by Wendy Thomas, 'Setting Up Your Framework for Shared Leadership and Collaboration': One of the best ways for an organization to expand its impact is to engage in strategic partnerships. But true partnerships are vastly more complex and ripe for misunderstandings than might first appear. Learn from our panel of real-life community collaborators about their experiences navigating these choppy waters, discuss best-practices around collaborations, and then explore with your table mates ways that your community or organization are engaging in meaningful cooperation around shared goals.
10:45am-11:00am: Break
11:00am-12:30pm: Keynote Address by Janet Brown, 'Collaborating on Optimal Performance through Capitalization Strategies'
In January of 2010, GIA launched its National Capitalization Project. Formed in response to the observation that it has been the norm for the nonprofit arts sector to be poorly capitalized, the project convened representatives from 16 regional and national funders of the arts (some of whom had been in conversations about capitalization for nearly two years before convening), 5 subject experts and GIA staff in two intensive working sessions to learn together, and to begin a conversation about what funders might do individually and collectively to address this long-standing condition. The first of these sessions was held at the Ford Foundation in April 2010 and the second at the Hewlett Foundation in July 2010. Our session will be a continuation of those discussions.
12:30pm-1:30pm: Lunch
1:30pm-2:30pm: Small Group Discussion
2:30pm-3:30pm: Report Back Session from Small Group Discussion
3:30pm-3:45pm: Wrap-Up
4:00pm-6:00pm: Cocktail Reception, Fluno Center Skyview Room
