Facilitated Strategy Session

Project details

What we need
  • Expert third party advice on process or managerial changes, geographic or programmatic expansion, potential pivots, or general strategic planning
  • Facilitation of an intensive, one-day strategic planning session with staff and/or Board
  • Note: If necessary, a follow-up strategic planning session may be scheduled
Additional details

Looking for a dynamic consultant (BIPOC or experience working with BIPOC communities preferred) to lead a day long strategic planning session and creation of a written plan with East West Players and the national board of the Consortium of Asian American Theaters and Artists (CAATA).

What we have in place
  • We would be able to provide time with the Executive Leadership and whomever else is necessary to get relevant background and information. Would also be able to provide previous strategic plans, by-laws, etc.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,772 , allowing us to aid with a new plan for the National Asian American Theater Conference which has been postponed due to Covid as well as support programs for Asian American artists affected by the pandemic.

East West Players and CAATA are an integral part of the Asian American Theater Company and going through a moment of great change as they look forward. They are also facing a number of issues due to Covid-19. This project will help the Asian American theater community assess its current state and help plan for a post Covid era.

(No testimonial has been submitted by Snehal)
East West Players is a beloved organization with historic roots in the Theater Arts and Asian American communities they serve. Thrilled to be "matched" to partner with their Managing Director, Board & Staff. This is an engaged and passionate team focused on their mission, vision and values--- overall, a highly professional, organized, focused, committed group all around. The strategy planning facilitation project was fulfilling for me on both a professional and personal level. I give both the project itself and the organization a 10/10!
