Collective Leadership Builds Equity into Arts Organizations

A unique leadership model is emerging in the arts field that emphasizes the importance of collective decision-making. Arts Connect International, an organization that works to create inclusion and equity in the arts, has announced its new Co-Directors, who will now lead the organization as a collective body. According to their announcement, the model is in direct response to traditional non-profit infrastructure, which concentrates power in the hands of a few individuals who may or may not represent the community they serve. Each Co-Director shares equal and lateral leadership responsibility and is positioned to offer the same amount of influence and directional vision. Follow the Arts Connect International group as they embark on this new venture and leadership structure.
