FREE Financial Literacy Workshop RISCA/NEFA-sponsored workshop from the Network of Ensemble Theaters

[Rebecca Noon]

Hi Friends,

Kali Quinn and I have been working to set this up. All details are now final. We just need you to sign yourselves up!

Join NETWORK OF ENSEMBLE THEATERS in Providence, RI on February 23 - 25  for a FREE professional development workshop on Financial Literacy for small arts organizations!

Financial Literacy 101

Designed to empower ensembles and small arts organizations, this participatory artist-focused seminar increases attendees' comfort, confidence, comprehension, and competency levels by sharing the basic tools needed to manage the financial "business" of artmaking. It provides an introductory-level overview of the financial components involved in operating an arts organization, including:

-Planning (chart of accounts, budgeting, cash flow projections);

-Day-to-day fiscal management (receivables, payables, deposits, bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, financial controls and policies);

-Reporting (tools for evaluation and review by staff/company members, boards, and external stakeholders, and how to use these tools internally to guide your decision making). 

Led by NET Managing Director Alisha Tonsic, the session is designed for a small group, in order to ensure an intimate, comfortable setting and time for personal attention. Participants receive in-class handouts, as well as a take-home USB drive loaded with templates, forms, and resource materials that they can put to use immediately with their companies. In addition, participants receive a one-on-one private consultation  to access tailored coaching and direct responses to their specific questions and concerns.

Dates:   

February 23rd                    10am - 4pm (with a one-hour lunch break)
February 24th & 25th          Optional 45-minute private coaching sessions

Cost:
FREE to Rhode Island arts organizations! Advance registration required, limited to 15 participants.
