Monitoring Reports of the Kentucky Arts Council Lydia Bailey Brown, Executive Director June 9, 2017 Board Meeting

Monitoring Report 1:0 - “Global” Ends Statement Kentucky Arts Council mission statement: The mission of the Kentucky Arts Council is to foster environments for the people of Kentucky to value, participate in, and benefit from the arts. Executive Director’s Statement – Consistent focus. The staff and board of directors focus on sustaining the agency to serve the Commonwealth in support of the arts, artists, arts education, arts and cultural tourism, arts workforce, economic development from/in the arts, and citizens-at-large in Kentucky. All staff members report monthly on which constituencies they serve with each program they maintain. The executive director utilizes two criteria when determining the success of meeting this ends statement in all programmatic, grant, personnel, partnership, organizational, and planning decisions: 1) Does the activity sustain and/or grow arts in Kentucky? and 2) Does the activity benefit and sustain the Kentucky Arts Council to continue its service? The Kentucky Arts Council works in benefit of this end statement when able to answer “yes” to each of these two questions, and thus strives to address each of these matters in all operations.

Monitoring Report 2.7 – Grants/Panels Process With respect to grants and grant panels, the Executive Director may not fail to ensure that the grant application and grant panels process are effectively administered and managed, incorporating volunteer leadership of members of the Kentucky Arts Council Board of Directors. Executive Director’s Statement – Ensured process. The executive director has been ensuring that she, along with senior staff members, present information about each grant, its panel process, and its applicants during panel trainings and meetings. This has included both panel chair training in February and March of 2017, and trainings for panel members prior to each panel session. She reviewed each panel’s master list of potential panel members, confirming their appropriate qualifications for panel inclusion and assisted program staff in panel selection. She surveyed the board regarding their interests and availability to chair panels, and assigned panel topics and dates according to the surveyed results, matching board members to events when availability allowed. New board members were invited and encouraged to co-chair panels to ascertain knowledge and comfort of the process. KAC staff provided orientation to each panel, including chairs, and provided both history and discussion of impact to the panel for their interpretation and consideration of

LBB.6/4/17 applications. Scoring for grant applications has been reviewed by the executive director with program staff, to determine accuracy of scoring and appropriateness of recommendations for funding by the arts council. The applications have been processed by experienced staff. The results of these activities are presented at the June 9 Kentucky Arts Council board meeting for those panels which have concluded in the recent months prior to the meeting. Grant software failed. Special circumstances arose this panel season, as the grant application software became unusable by applicants. In early 2017, the staff member who designed and maintained this software for the last four years was no longer able to align the application software to meet applicants’ needs, as he left his position with the arts council. Other KAC team members worked quickly and with agility to pull information from the crashing software, and processed nearly all FY2017 season grants by hand on paper since January 2017. This team worked overtime and learned new software skills to provide for grant application review for the arts council; they are to be commended for going above and beyond to address these monumental challenges alongside the management of their regular positions. Solving the problem. The executive director has begun the process of reviewing a new grant software system purchase for the Kentucky Arts Council. The need for this major purchase has been reported to the executive director of finance and the Deputy Director of the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, and the purchase shall be made in early FY2018. Grant management software is a requirement for operational success in grant management. It should be noted that all state arts agencies require software for this process, and that few states have processed applications by hand in more than a decade. The fiscal expenditure will require a Kentucky state RFP process and a staff team has been reviewing requirements and capabilities to prepare for this purchase. The grant software review team is led by the executive director and includes the grants manager who is organizing the process. The team also includes the administration branch manager, the fiscal analyst, the technology manager, the programs branch manager and the manager of Kentucky Arts Partnership grants. Opportunity for innovation. During the panel season, recommendations have been made by both panel chairs and panel participants to consider updating the current panel meeting process. If this is of interest to the Kentucky Arts Council board, there is opportunity for board members to discuss this need for process alteration and to make a motion (to be seconded) to create a special review committee for advisement on grant panel processes.

Monitoring Report 2.8 – Opportunity/Interim Grants Because the executive director is still selecting and awarding interim grants for FY2017, this report will be provided as an addendum to this page upon the completion of the granting period.
