HOW CAN TECHNOLOGY HELP??

The National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) offers a Technology Strategy Sampler . State arts agencies today must contend with shrinking budgets and reduced funds for programs, operations, personnel and communications. Travel restrictions have reduced opportunities for face-to-face contact with constituents. At the same time, demands for the use of new technology are increasing. There are rising expectations of connectedness and immediacy among constituents. The public expects 24/7 access to information and real-time updates of important issues and opportunities. Also, given the state fiscal environment, it's never been more important for state arts agencies to be able to express their value in clear, accessible ways. To navigate these com plex intersections, state arts agencies have become highly creative in their uses of technology to manage their resources, operate efficiently and provide services to the public. This sampler offers an introduction to the ways that state arts agencies are using new technology to meet their communications and public outreach goals.
