What is the Collective? 
The purpose of the Triangle Arts Leadership Collective is to provide Executive Directors of arts nonprofits in the Triangle a place to find peer support and learning. It’s been a tough few years for nonprofits and we know that EDs have taken much of the stress. The Collective is a safe place to connect with arts leaders who understand you, while engaging in peer-to-peer idea exchange to gain tools and resources to help move your organization forward. 

Who can be part of the Collective? 
Executive Directors of arts nonprofits in Orange, Durham, Wake, Johnston and Chatham counties, or the equivalent in small organizations. Attendees can attend meetings as their schedules allow and no preparation is required. You can run a large, long-standing arts organization or be a volunteer or part-time director of a small or new organization. All are welcome and will benefit from attendance.
