By Leonardo Vazquez NCCP Executive Director Leonardo Vazquez will be speaking on community coaching -- a method for building leadership in communities at the upcoming National Assembly of State Arts Agencies conference in November. Community coaching sessions generate a lot of ideas and information Community coaching is a distinct, six to nine-month program that develops diverse teams to engage in creative placemaking. Each community team has around 12 to 40 members, and includes at least one working artist and one elected official in the community. A trained coach is paired with the team and helps team members explore opportunities and challenges for creative placemaking. Through the sessions, the coach not only helps team members build their plan, but also helps them build their capacity to engage in productive partnerships and deal with the challenges of implementation. The NASAA Assembly 2014 is from November 13 to 15 in New Orleans. It is hosted by the Lousiana Office of Cultural Development. In 2013, the Office conducted a custom community coaching program called Lousiana Creative Communities Initiative. In this NCCP-designed program, ten communities throughout the state participated. They were coached by Louisiana arts and public affairs professionals who were trained by NCCP. Community coaching is immediately available for individual communities within two hours of Newark, NJ. To learn about more about opportunities for other communities, please contact Leonardo Vazquez by email or by phone at 973-763-6352 Vazquez will be available for one-to-one and small group consultation at the assembly on November 13. Please feel free to contact him for a consultation of up to 30 minutes. Learn more about community coaching
