Recap of Meeting - 3.14.24 via Zoom

Good afternoon!

Thanks so much to all who were able to join in the Zoom call this morning. It was a great reminder of just how many of you are out here doing incredible work at your organizations, and I am continually inspired by you.

If you didn't get a chance to join the call, here's a brief recap of what was discussed:

  • 16 people were present and introduced themselves, organizations represented were:
    • TheatreSquared
    • WAC/AMP
    • Amazeum
    • Crystal Bridges
    • The Momentary
  • Marley Wynne, local-to-us Tessitura staffer, gave a highlights update on what's going on at Tessitura and what we can look forward to soon
  • The group collaborated in some brainstorming about what we'd like to do with this group in the future. Ideas included:
    • Sharing of new ideas during regular meetings
    • Sharing best practices for different departments, for example Education and programming
    • Training around Analytics (101-level, tips and tricks, how to get buy-in from the whole organization to use Analytics)
    • Training on setting up distribution lists for reports/dashboards
    • 3rd party solutions we're using (specifically L2 maybe?)
    • Ethical list/resource sharing solutions
    • Department-specific breakout groups
    • A mini regional conference? Collaborating with our nearest regions in Tulsa, KC, and Little Rock

I'm very energized around these ideas and I look forward to planning some great gatherings for us this year.

And one last plug for the Community Groups--obviously I'm biased to our regional group, but I've also been enjoying the other topical groups. For example, the "Neurodiversity and Mental Wellness group" is one I'm loving right now, and highly recommend for any other neuro-spicy friends out there. Take a scroll through what's out there, you never know what you may connect with!

Many thanks again, and see you around soon!
