We are in extraordinary times with a sector (and society) faced with unprecedented obstacles and changes.  AND YET we are an extraordinary sector, filled with extraordinary people, and we need to all work together to weather this storm.  LEAN was formed as an immediate, ad hoc, pro bono response network to help arts organizations, big and small, deal with what is coming at them.

WHO ARE WE?

We are former arts leaders who care deeply about our sector. We have a network of hundreds of years of experience among a selection of phenomenal volunteers who all feel as we do.  We believe in service leadership – now more than ever in this extraordinary time. We are offering our services in this crisis environment – the help each other get through it to help make sure we all end up standing at the end of this.

This initiative was pulled together by The Lean Team: Celia Smith, Michele Maheux and Jeanne LeSage.
