<br /> <br /> ATTACHMENT C <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mission Statement <br />Enriching our community through strong arts and business partnerships. <br /> <br />Organization Statement <br />Through vision, leadership and service, the Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene is dedicated to enriching the <br />cultural life of our community by acting as a catalyst for creating dynamic partnerships between the arts, <br />culture and business sectors. <br /> <br />The Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene will bring the strengths of the arts and business sectors together to: <br /> <br /> <br />? <br />Increase awareness that the goals of each sector are congruent. <br /> <br />? <br />Enhance community-wide awareness of the economic, educational, and business benefits of arts and <br />culture. <br /> <br />? <br />Recognize and stimulate community leadership in arts and culture. <br /> <br />? <br />Advocate for arts investment and participation. <br /> <br />? <br /> <br />Contribute to the economichealth and livability of the community. <br /> <br />What We Do <br />ABAE encourages business leaders to take leadership roles within the arts and culture sector and the arts <br />and culture sector to recognize the economic vitality the business sector contributes to the community. <br /> <br />The ABAE may develop programs to enhance the local livability and economic success of our <br />community by: <br /> <br />? <br /> Placing professionals as volunteer consultants with non-profit arts and cultural organizations. <br />? <br /> Supporting training opportunities to enhance the effectiveness of non-profit boards and committees. <br />? <br /> Making presentations to community groups to build awareness of the positive community impact of <br />collaborations between the two sectors. <br />? <br /> Creating a community-wide web-based cultural calendar. <br /> <br />Why <br />We believe the goals of business and the arts are congruent. Business is essential to a viable arts <br />community and arts are good for business. In communities across the nation, the arts and business sectors <br />are successfully collaborating to contribute to the quality of life in their region; drive economic development; <br />stimulate creativity and innovation; and strengthen the ability of business to recruit and retain a diverse group <br />of individuals who will bring exceptional skills to the community. We believe it is time to champion these <br />efforts in Eugene. <br /> <br />Members: <br />Alan Evans, Chair-Evans, Elder and Brown Mindy Linder – Arts Marketing Professional <br />James Bean, Vice chair- Provost, University of Oregon Tina Rinaldi-University of Oregon <br />Kari Westlund- Travel Lane County Randall Stender-Merrill Lynch <br />Dave Hauser-Eugene Chamber of Commerce Fred Crafts-Ambassador for the Arts <br />Gretchen Hult Pierce-Hult & Associates Jody Hall-Hilton Eugene <br />Royce Saltzman, Director Emeritus-University of Oregon Jon Ruiz-City of Eugene <br />Rick Williams-Lane Community College <br />
