Joan Israelite, President and CEO of the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City, will share her perspective on the role of arts organizations in building our regional community.  Joan will discuss strategies and challenges of efforts to attain increased public funding for arts and cultural organizations in our metropolitan area, new partnerships that have been developed with arts and civic organizations and the impact of arts involvement in the lives of our children.

Joan has an impressive career of community involvement, from which she forms her insights and recommendations.  She has served as the coordinator of the Women’s Leadership Institute at Avila College, the coordinator of the School Age Child Care Coordinator for Heart of America Family Services, and the Development Director of the Boys and Girls Clubs, the Lyric Opera and the Kansas City Symphony.  In March 1999, she was selected to develop the newly formed Arts Council.  Joan has also volunteered her leadership skills as a board member of the Greater KC Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, as President of the Downtown Sertoma Club and as President of the National Society for Fundraising Executives.
