This Broward Cultural Council program aims to cultivate Broward County's next generation by focusing attention on individuals who have the will and desire to develop cultural leadership skills. The initiative presents an excellent way for young professionals to enhance their leadership skills, build relationships with business and community leaders, and productively contribute to civic life, cultural development, and gain recognition within the community.
The Broward-based program targets professionals between 21 and 40 years of age, who have an interest and desire to advance the mission of the Cultural Council. Over a two year period, participants are provided leadership development opportunities to increase their understanding of the ways that cultural organizations build community and enhance quality of life.
Upon acceptance into the program, participants are required to attend a series of meetings and workshops to help them gain understanding and knowledge of the Cultural Industry. There will be quarterly meetings and networking events and participants will receive assignments to one or more of the Broward Cultural Committees and/or assignments in areas such as advocacy, artists Hall of Fame, arts education, finance, cultural diversity, executive committee, planning, public relations, micro credit committee and global arts and culture. Participants who successfully complete the program are provided opportunities to assist in the implementation of cultural programs and committee work.
