Creative Conversations is a national platform of forums that are held simultaneously with other organizations, universities and community agencies during October National Arts and Humanities Month. As a part of the Emerging Leaders Network Creative Conversations is a program of Americans for the Arts designed to serve young professionals but welcomes people from every age range and demographic group. The only requirement is that participants have the desire to enhance their leadership capacity and the drive to develop innovative, effective and responsible management practices. It is an ideal way for emerging leaders to develop passion for the work they do and an opportunity to discuss challenges facing emerging leaders, share resources and connect with a national community of peers.
