Members Advisory Committee (MAC)

Members Advisory Committee (MAC)

The Members Advisory Committee is a select group of twelve (12) active Workman Artists representing the diversity of the Workman Arts Membership (in terms of the WA membership, arts discipline, ways of participating in Workman Arts programs, age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and all other groups outlined in the inclusivity and anti-oppression policies at Workman Arts).

The group meets five (6) times per year to discuss and contribute to the strategic planning and development of WA and its Membership. Members of the committee represent the perspectives of the Workman Arts Membership, based on their own experience, as well as their knowledge of interests and concerns of the broader Membership. The committee is consulted on issues identified by Workman Arts members, staff, Board of Directors, collaborators and/or audience members.

Members Communication Committee (MCC)

The Workman Arts MCC (Members Communication Committee, a subsidiary committee to the Member’s Advisory Committee) invites feedback from Workman Arts members. We have created a simple form where members can submit – anonymously if they like – questions, comments, concerns, and/or positive feedback. Is there an issue you’d like to see addressed but don’t feel comfortable talking to WA staff about? Would you like to share a positive experience? The MAC is a group of members whose job is to answer questions, share member’s experience with the Staff and Board of Directors, and advocate for members at the leadership level.

• Members can submit feedback to the MCC at any time using the online form.
• The form can be found in the WA Member Newsletter and the Membership Facebook
• The form is monitored solely by the MCC, and your feedback can remain anonymous if you wish.
• A portion of every MAC meeting is devoted to discussing member feedback. It will be passed on to relevant WA staff, as well, when necessary, taken to the WA Board of Directors. 
• Form follow-up includes: A MCC member responding directly with members, staff members following up directly with members in instances where this is appropriate; as well as MCC members sharing pertinent information directly to the membership through the Membership Facebook Page and Newsletter.
