Strategic Plan Survey

The Kansas Arts Commission is completing a year-long
strategic planning process on September 21, at the
quarterly Commission meeting in Concordia. The
Commissioners are expected to formerly adopt our new
strategic plan.

We thank everyone who participated in the process -- from
those who attended meeting to those who responded to the
online questionnaire.

If adopted, the new plan will be posted here on September
24, 2007, and will serve as the Kansas Arts Commission's
guide for future activities until 2012.
