Next month I am honored to be presenting to museum directors from the Oklahoma Museums Association. I have at least one other large state museums association also interested, so there seems to be a common thread here. I absolutely *LOVE* working with the association world! Reason being, I often have to speak in generalities as most in a general audience will have a wide range of interests related to risk, but when you speak to a specific industry or profession with very niche specific risks, it just allows for much greater focus and strategies to be offered. If you represent #associationmanagement for a professional #nonprofitorganization I'd love to have a conversation with you as there are many points of potential customization, not only for the obvious need, but for potential ongoing customization and even association branding. Certainly, it's worth a conversation. I know someone who can help. #defensebydesign #associations #nonprofitmanagement #conferencespeaker

🌟 An #volunteering open day is a great way to showcase what volunteering is like at your organisation. Spice up your with these top tips from @swmuseums 🔗 https://buff.ly/47gV2FG #101Wednesday #Volunteer #volunteermanagement #volunteerism #museums #heritage

🌡 Let's talk VOLUNTEERS 👉 However big your Charity / Museum / Heritage organisation is, have you got the right insurance to deal with volunteer and employee issues that get a bit spicy?! 👍 The case in point in Brixham will no doubt highlight for all charities the need for a discussion on Employment Practices cover (and limits) at the very least. 📞 Talk to PIB Insurance Brokers for great advice and appropriate insurance cover to protect your management team. #charity #charityinsurance #museum #museuminsurance #heritageinsurance #employmentpractices #pib #protectmanagement

Hello! 🎉 We at Benvenuti Arts have been supporting artists and small arts organizations for almost 10 years, focusing on practical, tactical fundraising and administrative services. It’s clear to us, after all of this time, that fewer financial resources does not equate to lesser work; smaller groups are often so focused on their communities that things like grant writing, donor cultivation, or financial planning must be deprioritized. We want to help, even if you don’t have the resources to work with us directly. It’s with that in mind that we are relaunching our communications channels! With a core value to be of service to the small and mighty arts organizations and artists out there, we will continue with our consulting and capacity building services while building out our public channels to also provide some practical tools to anyone who needs them. It is our hope that more groups can benefit, even if they are not our direct client. So if you are looking for: 📍 Industry articles along with our own thoughts, follow us here on LinkedIn. 📚 Practical tools and tips for arts administrators, as well as BA’s take on industry occurrences, check out our Blog.  📥 Monthly lists of upcoming grants, links to resources, and other advice targeted to small arts groups and independent artists, sign up for our monthly newsletter.  ♻ Snippets from our trainings and workshops, and features from our clients, follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Additionally, our Clients and Members receive monthly emails with insights and guidance just for them. 👯♀️ We want to keep this information simple, informative, and, above all, practical. Just like our work with clients, these tools only work if you are able to actually use them! So we hope you’ll engage, provide feedback, and share anything you feel was useful to you. We’ll see you online! 🎭 🔮 #benvenutiarts #fundraising #artsmanagement #IndieSpaceNYC #gallim #choralcameleon #developingartists #sozowithus #AlphabetRockers #BloomingdaleSchoolOfMusic #frigidnyc #kr3ts #forgottenfutures #btfa #concerttheatreworks #braataproductions

Celebrating a Milestone: Armenian Melodies Wins at the Rose Parade 🏆 Thrilled to share that our #ArmenianMelodies float, featuring KRUNK the Armenian Crane, has been honored with the Rose Parade Grand Marshall award 🎉 For Most Outstanding Creative Concept and Float Design KRUNK, a symbol of peace and hope in Armenian folklore, perfectly captured the essence of our heritage and aspirations. Being on the board of AARFA has taught me valuable lessons that I carry into my business: 🤝 Teamwork is Everything: Just like in business, creating a successful parade float relies on seamless collaboration and diverse talents coming together. 🔄 Adaptability is Key: In both realms, unexpected challenges arise. Adapting swiftly and effectively is crucial to overcoming these hurdles. 🎯 Vision and Execution: Whether it's crafting a stunning float or driving a business project, having a clear vision and executing it with precision leads to remarkable outcomes. 💡 Community Impact: The joy and pride our float brings to the community echo the satisfaction of delivering value through my business services. These experiences reinforce my commitment to excellence, both in celebrating our heritage and in providing top-notch lending solutions. We are already starting to prep for the float this year (2024)! If you are interested in donating or volunteering, please reach out and message me or comment "2024" below. _______________ Follow & Connect | Arthur Kokozian #CommunitySpirit #CulturalHeritage #BusinessLessons #Teamwork

Discoveries like the recent identification of jazz legend Louis Armstrong in an old photograph can create waves of excitement - not just among fans, but also for the nonprofits preserving our rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of the ever-lasting impact of art and music. Yet, how do we best leverage these golden moments to further our mission? Resonating with people's emotions, stories and connections are keys. This story, for instance, could inspire a boost in sales of Armstrong's music or related merchandise, creating a ripple effect benefiting jazz-focused nonprofits. It's about looking at every revelation as an opportunity to rekindle interest and support. This journey is challenging, but rewards are immense. Together, let's continue to innovate, educate and inspire. Remember, your work doesn't just preserve history. It keeps the beat of our culture alive. #NonprofitPower #MarketingForChange #BusinessSolution #GiveHopeDaily. Share your experiences and marketing success stories below!
