Keith D. Lee, a nonprofit and arts management consultant, will moderate a 90-minute panel discussion to address external views associated with arts administration education as these relate to career development and the job market. Panelists will present contrasting views of arts and nonprofit administration education as these relate to the needs of the arts professionals in the field. For approximately fifty minutes, panelists will discuss their own experiences in arts and/or nonprofit management. Following this dialogue, the panel and session attendees will exchange questions and explore new strategies with insight for campus faculty and arts administrators and also for practitioners about career enhancement and development options.
