Overview
Performing Arts Workshop (PAW), a premier arts education provider in the region, teaches 7,500 children per year in more than 60 public schools (grades K-12), through the artistic process, how to think individually and within a group, communicate verbally and physically, analyze and solve problems, and create art through a variety of programs. Following on from a successful three-year plan PAW developed in 2008 with a Hewlett Organizational Effectiveness grant, support for a new three-year (2011-14) strategic planning process would enable the Workshop to capitalize on its recent growth and success while addressing several forthcoming organizational challenges. Foremost of these challenges will be the departure of the Workshop’s current Executive Director, Tom DeCaigny in March 2011. The Workshop’s top priority at the moment is the implementation of an Executive Director Succession Plan followed by a corresponding comprehensive 2011-2014 Strategic Planning process.
