Noelle Rhodes Scott of Cabarrus Arts Council to Join Americans for the Arts for Annual Executive Leadership Forum

Forum Teaches Key Leadership Skills to Advance Cabarrus Arts Council Nationally

CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA, 8/28/18—Americans for the Arts is hosting its annual Executive Leadership Forum September 12–15, 2018, in Sundance, Utah, and Noelle Rhodes Scott, CEO and President of Cabarrus Arts Council will be one of the 16 top-level arts executives gathering to brainstorm, reflect, and strategize on the future of arts administration.

The Executive Leadership Forum is designed to create opportunities for CEOs, executive directors, and senior staff of local arts advancement organizations to focus on long-term thinking, professional growth, and personal renewal.

Scott will benefit from seminars on improving overall strategy, handling transitions, and preparing Cabarrus Arts Council to benefit locally from national trends in the arts world. A wide range of topics—including equity, cultural democracy, community development, and long-term visioning—will be explored through discussions, presentations, and screenings.

“It is such an honor to have been selected to participate in the Americans for the Arts Executive Leadership Forum,” said Scott. “I am excited to meet and learn from colleagues from across the country.”

“I am thrilled that 16 strong arts leaders from communities across the country are participating in this year’s Executive Leadership Forum,” said Robert L. Lynch, president and CEO of Americans for the Arts. “The arts can be a tool for social and economic improvement and community transformation, and my hope is that this gathering of cultural sector executives will lay the groundwork for future action in new ideas, insights, strategies, and real innovation.”  

The Executive Leadership Forum is held simultaneously with the Americans for the Arts National Arts Policy Roundtable. The facilitated conversations, community clinics, and joint sessions with the National Arts Policy Roundtable will be held at the Sundance Resort. An additional Executive Leadership Forum will be held in Des Moines, Iowa, in October. More information is available on Americans for the Arts’ website.
