Dance/USA is always striving to ensure that the dance field has knowledgeable leadership on which to build its future. Taking advantage of ever growing technology, we are now offering distance learning opportunities free to all our members. Distance learning seeks to compliment annual conferences and forums by offering valuable up to date professional development information through the Nonprofit Finance Fund.

Webinars are free for members and are available for instant download throughout the year. They will contain a Q and A component, where participants can post questions online and within three business days a Nonprofit Finance Fund financial professional will post a response for the wider webinar audience.

Conference Calls are available free for members and offer additional insight and advice on financial topics. They are valuable for business managers, development directors, finance managers, or other appropriate staff. Calls are currently scheduled to occur in September, October, December, February, April, and June with the specific details distributed two-three weeks prior to the call’s scheduled date.

Newsletters will be sent electronically throughout the year to Dance/USA members. They will focus on key financial tips and tolls and will respond to any dominant themes identified through the webinars and conference calls.
