Thank you to the many people who have been blog contributors to, and readers of ArtsBlog over the years. ArtsBlog has long been a space where we uplifted stories from the field that demonstrated how the arts strengthen our communities socially, educationally, and economically; where trends and issues and controversies were called out; and advocacy tools were provided to help you make the case for more arts funding and favorable arts policies.

As part of Americans for the Arts’ recent Strategic Realignment Process, we were asked to evaluate our storytelling communications platforms and evolve the way we share content. As a result, we launched the Designing Our Destiny portal to explore new ways of telling stories and sharing information, one that is consistent with our longtime practice of, “No numbers without a story, and no stories without a number.”

As we put our energy into developing this platform and reevaluate our communications strategies, we have put ArtsBlog on hold. That is, you can read past blog posts, but we are not posting new ones. You can look to the Designing Our Destiny portal and our news items feed on the Americans for the Arts website for stories you would have seen in ArtsBlog in the past.

ArtsBlog will remain online through this year as we determine the best way to archive this valuable resource and the knowledge you’ve shared here.

As ever, we are grateful for your participation in ArtsBlog and thank you for your work in advancing the arts. It is important, and you are important for doing it.

An Independent Sector Resource Directory of Education and Training Opportunities and Other Services

<P>The publication of the first edition of An Independent Sector Resource Directory of Education and Training Opportunities and other Services provided readers with a wealth of information on some of the excellent educational opportunities that offer training for current and future non-profit leaders. In response to many requests, we have provided in this new edition a section of career vignettes from professionals practicing in the non-profit sector. Publication of the first edition represented a vital step toward achieving our original goal. This second edition provides even more comprehensive information on training programs and other opportunities for volunteer leaders and staff.</P>
<P>In 1985 we published the first edition of An Independent Sector Resource Directory of Education and Training Opportunities and Other Services to encourage greater attention by nonprofit organizations, grantmakers and academic institutions on the development of the human resources in the nonprofit sector. The response to that first edition has been overwhelming . As a result, this year, we have more than 150 new entries. We have added a new section on Profiles of Careers in the Independent Sector, which traces the career paths of successful leaders in a variety of nonprofit organizations. (p. iii-iv)</P>
