  • 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.

  • Walker Art Center and the Current Will Not Present Rock the Garden in Summer 2021
    NEWS Press Contact: Rachel Joyce 612.375.7635 [email protected] Online Press Room: walkerart.org/press-releases WALKER ART CENTER AND THE CURRENT WILL NOT PRESENT ROCK THE GARDEN IN SUMMER 2021 MINNEAPOLIS, NOVEMBER 11, 2020 — Due to uncertainties around planning for a large-scale outside event next summer, the Walker and The Current will not present Rock the Garden in 2021. After thoughtful consideration of how Rock the Garden could be coordinated and held in the time of COVID-19, the two organizations determined that the event in its current form could not be done in a way that would guarantee the safety of community members and artists. The decision to not present Rock the Garden next summer was a difficult one for the organizations to make, as both music fans and members of the Twin Cities community. The Walker and The Current have been teaming up to present the Twin Cities’ unofficial kick off to summer since 2008 and are hopeful that fans will be able to join together again soon. “This is a very difficult decision for both organizations. Although it may seem premature, the bulk of the planning, including booking bands on tour and securing permits, needs to be completed by the New Year. It is not feasible to do this work given the current situation with COVID-19. We are disappointed to not be able to share the event with our community next summer,” comments Mary Ceruti, Executive Director of the Walker. “Rock the Garden takes months of planning, and we have a talented team of event experts who know what is required to make it a success.

  • Chief Executive Officer of Minnesota Humanities Center
    Chief Executive Officer https://mnhum.org/ www.ballingerleafblad.com Chief Executive Officer of Minnesota Humanities Center Building a thoughtful, literate, and engaged society. VALUES 2 ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW The Minnesota Humanities Center is a statewide nonprofit and full-service event center. MHC was founded in 1971, when the National Endowment for the Humanities began providing funding for state-based humanities programs. MHC has evolved over the decades beginning with educational programming exploring Minnesota’s people, sociology, and history. Public programming expanded in the 1990s with traveling exhibits, international speakers, published books and public events that examined the nation and the state’s diverse, difficult histories and potential future. The Humanities Center continues to engage the state’s communities by exploring “absent narratives” —voices often left out or marginalized. PROGRAMS Minnesota Humanities Center collaborates with organizations and people through education, partnerships, and public programs to inspire community conversations, forge deep connections, and illuminate authentic, diverse voices across the state — especially those left out, marginalized, or otherwise absent from education and public awareness. 3 Veterans’ Voices Veterans’ Voices honors veterans’ contributions and empowers them to relay their experiences through plays, discussions, literature and the Veterans’ Voices Award. The Warrior Writer Workshop provides a safe space for Veterans to tell their own stories, using prompts and discussion covering a variety of military issues and experiences. We Are Water MN Minnesota is the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” and headwaters to the Mississippi River. We are Water MN examines the practical, spiritual, and environmental roles of water in our lives. By creating relationships around water, networks are created that can promote positive social norms, and share a vision for and participate in water stewardship.

    TRAVELERS SUNSET AFFAIR: COOL CATS A BENEFIT FOR COMO PARK ZOO & CONSERVATORY HOSTED BY COMO FRIENDS 1 WELCOME TO TRAVELERS SUNSET AFFAIR: COOL CATS Dear Friends: Lynette enjoys her Saturday mornings helping to prepare enrichment items for Como’s Large Cats as well as assisting with family education classes, such as “Big Cat Breakfast” - teaching the next generation about the wild and precious animals that share our natural world. Like so many other Como volunteers, we both wish we could invite everyone we know behind-the-scenes at Como to see the tremendous care that goes into everything from keeping these magnificent lions and tigers healthy, to cultivating the gorgeous gardens around this campus. The more we’ve come to know about Como, the more committed we feel about keeping it free and fabulous long into the future. Tonight our wish comes true, as more than 500 guests—a new record for this summer gala—will have the rare opportunity to explore Como after hours and learn about what it takes to keep this turn-of-the century treasure growing strong. The amazing pace of progressive improvements our community has applauded—from the beautiful new Ordway Gardens wing, to both the award-winning Gorilla Forest and Polar Bear Odyssey exhibits– have only been possible because of private contributions from people like you. Your bids tonight for more than 300 silent auction items and gifts toward our fund-a-need donation make a difference at Como every day, providing chicken drummie treats for our large cats, free admission for nearly two million visitors, and family friendly conservation programs that reach more than half a million kids and adults every year.
