It is truly our privilege to present the newest arts and culture organizations that choose shared leadership structures. Creative Evolutions has worked with various national leadership and boards on their searches for close to a year, including HERE Arts Center, Theatre Communications Group (TCG), and the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC). Each team dedicated themselves to conducting a more transparent, human-centered search process with CE, and we're grateful for everyone's valuable time and expertise. Please join us in congratulating these newly appointed arts leaders and sharing the latest job opportunity from TCG for the third and last Co-Executive Director: National Operations and Business Development. Semi-finalist, finalist candidates and those who refer them qualify for compensation under CE's policies. |

TCG Shifts to a Shared Leadership Structure
The Search for a Third Co-Executive Director: National Operations & Business Development is Open!
Theatre Communications Group (TCG), leads for a just and thriving theatre ecology. In this rapidly shifting world, TCG has responded by shifting their leadership structure to reflect the diverse needs and expertise needed to adapt to their shared ecology to lead forward. To transition into this structure, the board of TCG has taken a considered approach by combining a national search for one role (Co-Executive Director: National Operations and Business Development) and promoting the two other Co-Executive Directors from within. These leaders will also serve under specific term limits to focus their expertise and make space to develop rising leaders for the organization and the field in the years ahead. As of July 22, 2024, the Co-Executive Director: National and Global Programming will be Emilya Cachapero (previously Director of Grantmaking Programs) and the Co-Executive Director: National Engagement will be LaTeshia Elllerson (previously Interim Chief Growth Officer). A hiring process has begun for the Co-Executive Director: National Operations and Business Development with a preferred application period ranging to August 26. |

Cultivating Disruption in New Haven |

"Walk into those rooms where you don't think you belong." CE Co-founder Calida Jones shared space with a full house to give the Arts Keynote at the 2024 Yale Innovation Summit last spring. Starting with the assurance that she is not going to present data or numbers "because, at first, we are human," Calida encouraged people to place new ideas and values at the center of our collective future. | | |

Expanding the Ecosystem Meena Malik, Musician and Founder of Magpie Cultural Strategies, and Rebecca Novick, CE Collaborator, and Theatre Director, walked their Yale Innovation Summit workshop participants through easy tools for developing their own daily or weekly creative practices. CE was also honored to host a recent University of Hartford graduate (and Calida's mentee/semi-niece), Asia Palmer, who represented Creative Evolutions at our outreach table, informing everyone who graced our table with the CE story and experience. |
