Experts from the Craig School of Business at California State University, Fresno, are leading a six-part series designed for front-line supervisors and managers–those new to the role, those needing a refresher in the core skills, those recently promoted a technical role to a supervisory role, and others interested in acquiring or refining their supervision skills.

The series begins on September 18 and takes place on six consecutive Fridays (no class on 10/16/09) from 8 am to 11 am on the university campus. Instructors for the series are Laurie Taylor-Hamm, MBA; Debbie Young, MBA; Julie Olson-Buchanan, M.A., Ph.D.; Jim Schmidtke, Ph.D.; and Ida Jones, J.D. The fee for the Certificate Award in Supervisory Skills Training: Increasing Individual Effectiveness and Impacting Organizational Results is $595 for all six classes. Enrollment is for the entire series; registration for individual class sessions is not available.

The Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) is pleased to host a special event with the James Irvine Foundation: A Community Forum — Implications of Cultural Engagement in California’s Inland Regions

August 27, 2009
1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Arte Americas
1630 Van Ness Avenue, Fresno

The landmark study, Cultural Engagement in California’s Inland Regions, commissioned by The James Irvine Foundation, is receiving national attention. The results paint a detailed picture of cultural engagement in the San Joaquin Valley, much of which occurs ‘off the radar’ of the traditional arts organizations.

The goal of the forum is to have a dialogue about the study from many perspectives. As the organization that co-authored the study with WolfBrown, the Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) is committed to sharing the study results back to the community at large.

Featured Speakers:

• Alan Brown, Wolfbrown, principal author of the study
• John McGuirk, Director, Arts Program, The James Irvine Foundation
• Ron Eichman, Executive Director, Fresno Grand Opera and Past Board Chair of FCASH
• Maria Eraña, Director of Broadcasting, Radio Bilingüe
• Dr. Deborah Wong, UC Riverside Professor of Ethnomusicology…. And You!
