Since 2000, the annual Rural workshop series has been designed specifically to help board members in their volunteer work for non-profit arts organizations. The Rural Partners help develop the focus and topics for these workshops, which take place at various locations throughout upstate New York in the spring and early summer. Five or six Rural Partners volunteer as host organizations; from this point, the workshops are individually developed using input from their boards to hone the topics and speakers. The Rural workshops are open to all not-for-profits, and often by hosting one of the workshops, the Rurals Partner can provide extensive and extra assistance for the regional organizations they serve.
The Alliance offered its first webinar specifically for the Rurals in early 2008 on effective local advocacy in rural areas. Using the internet combined with a conference call, Rural Partners can ìattendî a full workshop online. This eliminates time and travel concerns, and plans are to schedule more of these webinars for our statewide Partnership
