The conference focused on "The Road from Education to Practice" and continued AAAE's work on content standards and program development for arts administration education, including several approaches to teaching methodology and technology. Workshop topics integrated experiential learning, online teaching, self-assessment and standard setting for arts administration programs. The conference emphasized the connection between theory and practice and explored the challenges arts administrators' educators face today.
Five committees were formed at the conference to continue the started work in Chicago. All AAAE members are invited to join these committees. Please contact Elizabeth Bentley-Smith (eab33@drexel.edu), if you are interested in one or more of the following working groups:
1) Committee to gather and share information regarding online course offerings
2) Committee to design a pilot program regarding the sharing of syllabi
3) Committee to design a series of regional meetings on comparative teaching methods
4) Committee to design a recognition program of member's accomplishments
5) Committee to develop a reference project for current case studies as teaching tools
