ACSO would like to (re)introduce our members to California Arts Advocates (CAA), our statewide arts lobbyist. ACSO helped found CAA in 1996, and since then, CAA has been the collaborative force behind the battle to protect and increase arts funding in California, as well as the successful passage of several laws that positively impact the arts.
Throughout the pandemic, CAA has been on the front lines of the crucial and ongoing efforts to secure relief funding and reopening guidelines for the arts in California.
ACSO Executive Director Sarah Weber invites you to join her in a conversation with CAA Executive Director Julie Baker to discuss:
the long partnership between ACSO and CAA and how our two organizations work together
the hot legislative issues impacting orchestras right now in California and how CAA is working on them
how ACSO members and the CA orchestra community can support this work and help move it forward (your help is critical!)
We will also have time for you to ask Julie some of your burning advocacy questions. So please join us to get better acquainted with YOUR arts lobbyist and to get the information you need to be an impactful advocate for our field!
