Good afternoon North Carolina Tesstiura Community Members!
I hope you all had a fantastic summer and for those of you who attended TLCC, had a fantastic conference and trip!
An idea has been proposed that I wanted to send along to the rest of our group about possibly combining the South Carolina and North Carolina Tessitura Community User Groups.
There are only 3 member organizations in South Carolina: Spoleto Festival USA, South Carolina's Children's Theatre, and Peace Center. I'd love to hear your thoughts about asking them to join our group as a 'Carolina's' user group. I welcome the additional engagement and look forward to hopefully setting up some more regular community activities with our new collegues. The more, the merrier!
I'm meeting with Michael Dorsey with Spoleto Festival next week about this topic and would love to share with him how our group feels about this idea. Likewise, if anyone wants to join on our call, let me know and I'll forward along the invite.
Thanks so much and I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Hi Tiffany,
I think this is a great idea as some of the organizations in South Carolina are geographically closer to us in WNC and it would be helpful to have a place for collaboration that includes both states.

I'm for it! I think bringing a few more orgs into our fold can only benefit everyone!
The more the merrier, as it's said.
Hi everyone,
Thank you for supporting this idea. I've always found the regional community groups to be helpful, and it will be nice to find a home for SC orgs and have a regional group to connect with at TLCC. My hope is that this group expansion will provide additional value to your organizations, and benefit the arts & culture scene of the Carolina's region.
Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Michael
I'm for it, but I'm with the Peace Center and joined the NC group because there wasn't a group for SC
