FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Joelle mentioned the work with the Washington State Arts
Commission. They set out to have a conversation about the arts across
the state leading to a strategic plan with broad support. They not only
got that but fostered conversations that never would have happened otherwise,
sometimes bringing the arts organizations in the community together for the
first time. Thus, they not only accomplished their purpose -- a
broadly supported plan -- they also strengthened the arts community
throughout the state by enabling new connections and ideas to flourish wherever
they went. WSAC turned themselves from a despised agency to a trusted
convenor.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
