NEA FAC RA Meeting Schedule

The NEA Fine Arts Caucus is gearing up for a very busy year of using our members to advocate that NEA's financial resources, human resources and power is used to advance our agenda of a quality Arts Education for all of our students.

Tom McLaughlin (IA, Caucus Chair) and Ginger Fox (CA) are just back from Washington, DC where they initiated a series of meetings to advance the work of the caucus.  Both left the meetings with the feeling that the NEA FAC has entered a new age of being active in important policy discussions, curriculum discussions and partnerships to advance the goals of the caucus.  As a result of the meetings with Americans for the Arts, the Arts Action Fund, NEA Senior Policy Staff and coordinators of the NCCAS (National Coalition for Core Arts Standards) writing and implementation process.

Thanks to your membership and support of the caucus we have meaningful business with some real "teeth" to advance our pro-Arts agenda for our students, colleagues, programs and schools.  Please see the blog link to explore the issues on the table so far at this year's RA for our caucus.
