This comprehensive report details the MPTA’s work accomplished and achievements made possible by Legacy funding. All television programs produced and educational resources created with these funds are documented using consistent reporting categories and definitions of measurement and are accompanied by the required financial reports. Following the Department of Administration’s recommendation, this report aligns both the narrative and financial sections to the State’s fiscal calendar, July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, a new reporting structure that results in some duplication from the January 2015 report. In the pages that follow, you will read about the growing archive of arts, cultural and history programming available statewide, its broad reach and economic impact, the critical recognition this body of work has received and the positive feedback and comments from viewers, educators, artists and the media. With the generosity of the Legacy Legislative Committees in the past, each MPTA station has created many seasons of arts and cultural series and specials specific to their local communities, along with documentaries examining many subjects of Minnesota history. Legacy-funded content is broadcast statewide on The Minnesota Channel (as an additional local service by each of the MPTA stations), and is increasingly being seen nationwide: through PBS NewsHour and on local PBS affiliates across the country. Each MPTA station streams Legacy-funded content and educational materials for classroom use, all freely available for viewing any time. This ever-growing digital archive provides rich documentation of the arts and cultural legacy of our time, for current and future generations, and serves as a tool and resource for educators and citizens alike. The return on Legislative investment has been realized many times over and in many ways: creating jobs to benefit our local economies, increasing awareness of our arts community and sales by local artists (who are themselves small businesses), and connecting all of the people who live and work in our areas of service. The six stations of the MPTA are grateful to the State Legislature for designating the MPTA as a grant recipient for the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. We reaffirm our commitment to support the arts, arts education and arts access, and to preserve Minnesota's history and cultural heritage. Thank you for your generosity, through which the following achievements were made. Allen Harmon William G.

  • Executive Director
    Executive Director www.riverton.org www.ballingerleafblad.com Executive Director of Riverton Community Housing Ballinger|Leafblad is pleased to conduct the search for Executive Director at Riverton Community Housing, a student housing cooperative in Minneapolis, Minnesota. ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW Riverton Community Housing exists to assist in making the pursuit of student’s educational goals more accessible. With the trend on college campuses toward “luxury” apartment buildings with high rents, Riverton Community Housing is committed to providing a cooperative housing model to provide quality, affordable housing to students at the University of Minnesota and other schools in the area. Co-op housing is member-controlled housing. Residents who live here are members, not “tenants”. Every year the membership elects a board of directors that governs the co-op. The board makes decisions regarding budget planning and building improvements in addition to planning social and cultural events for co-op members. Everyone can participate! As a premiere network of student housing cooperatives in North America, Riverton has a strong record of teaching and leading college students toward the housing cooperative model. As a nonprofit, Riverton provides both a hands-on educational experience for student leaders, and a financial model that offers attractive rental rates in well-maintained properties. ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY In 1945, as soldiers returned to the University of Minnesota, 30 veterans sought to create a social venture where affordable meals would be served. This entity became known as the Chateau Co-op Dining Club. In addition to meals, the Club included a recreation room with table tennis and pool tables, a TV room and a reading lounge.

Findings show that social infotainment and social companionship are the primary motivations of social TV participation. However, only social infotainment significantly pre- dicts the intensity of viewers’ social TV usage, which has a positive influence on program commitment and network loyalty. Additionally, the relationship between social TV usage and network loyalty is partially mediated by program commitment. These findings demonstrate the value of social TV to broad- casters and provide directions for initiating and maintaining long-term relation- ships with viewers.
