You are invited to the ACPA Annual Meeting on Saturday, August 29 at 9:00 a.m., in the Fox Theatre’s Grand Salon.

Our keynote speaker this year will be Charles Green, President of Sunrise Bank of Atlanta and Chair of the Fulton County Arts Council.

The Annual Meeting will include:

• Special announcements on the status of the organization
• Elections for the Board and Member Services Council
• Time for networking and camaraderie with colleagues

Use this form to RSVP today and we will look forward to seeing you there!

Hello, again, fellow members of ACPA:

The Member Services Council invites you to join us and members of the Board of Directors as we host a second ACPA Town Hall Meeting. Like last month’s ACPA Town Hall, the focus will be upon our service organization and how it may best serve our needs, meet our expectations and make a positive impact on our community. The minutes of the last meeting were distributed in our ACPA Heads Up email a few weeks ago and copies will be available at the upcoming meeting.

I’m grateful to everyone who attended last month’s meeting and I thank each of you for contributing to the meaningful discussions. With this upcoming meeting, our goal is to once again solicit input from all attendees to be used to shape the organization, hone its focus and ensure its viability and sustainability.

The meeting is fairly informal with the aim of, first and foremost, hearing from the participants. All questions and comments are welcome and there are many issues to discuss. If you cannot attend, please feel free to contact me and I will relay your questions or comments at the meeting and provide you with the response as a follow-up.

I look forward to hearing from you or seeing you there.
Kind regards,
Keif Schleifer

The following is a message from the Member Services Council:

Hello fellow members of ACPA:

The Member Services Council invites you to join us and the Board of Directors as we host the first of two Town Hall Meetings that will focus upon our service organization and how it may best serve our needs, meet our expectations and make a positive impact on the landscape as we move forward.

The meeting will provide an opportunity for all of us to dialogue directly with one another so that we can share first-hand information and updates about recent developments at ACPA, address questions and concerns, and gather input that can be used to shape the organization, hone its focus and ensure its viability and sustainability.

The meeeting will be pretty informal, straight-forward and aims to get right to the heart of the matter so that we can make the best use of your time. We want to hear from you and therefore will allocate the largest portion of our time to an interactive process of Questions, Answers & Comments and gathering your input.

All questions and comments are welcome. Please feel free to email me any questions or comments you have if you you cannot attend or would like to remain anonymous. I will read them at the meeting (unless you state otherwise) and provide you with the response as a follow-up.

If you are unable to attend this first Town Hall, then please join us at the next one in a few weeks. When the location, time and date are are confirmed, we will notify you immediately. (Please Note: These meetings are in addition to and precede the ACPA Annual Meeting.)

ACPA Town Hall Meeting 1
Monday, June 1st. 7pm
The Academy Theatre
119 Center Street

I’m looking forward to hearing from you or seeing you there.
All the best,

Final preparations are underway for this year’s Unified Auditions. Lots of mundane tasks are underway to make sure we have another year of smooth sailing.

Tomorrow — under the “not-so-mundane” category of things to do — we’ll be sorting all the headshots into stacks to hand out to the auditors. With volunteers, the sorting process takes a few hours, but is well worth the effort.

Of course, if you have a spare hour or two to give, we still could use your helping hands!

In the meantime, we look forward to seeing everyone bright and early on Monday.
