It's Membership Renewal Time...a letter from the president

Like many of you, I spend a good portion of my professional life explaining what it is I do for a living. ''Arts administration educator'' isn't in the common lexicon of most of my academic peers, civic leaders, or immediate family (my mother almost gets it, but not quite). Even the professional practitioners to whom we provide exceptional leaders and innovative managers don't always connect the dots between their daily work and the concepts of academic research, curriculum, pedagogy, and service learning.
