Miami University’s College of Creative Arts is proud to announce that three faculty members from the Arts Management and Arts Entrepreneurship program have been selected to develop an innovative nonprofit governance program through Miami Online Learning. Designed for continuing education, the online Nonprofit Governance program has been developed for career professionals looking to broaden their skill sets in the nonprofit sector. When developing modules for the program, Miami Online Learning drew from the subject matter expertise from three faculty in the Arts Management and Arts Entrepreneurship program.]
This initiative underscores the vital connection between nonprofit arts organizations and effective governance in fostering social value and driving positive change. As the nonprofit arts sector continues to thrive, generating an impressive $166.3 Billion in annual revenues in 2023, the need for specialized education in nonprofit management has never been more critical.
The three faculty members developing modules are:
Youngaah Koh - Leadership and Advocacy for Nonprofits
Erin Hoppe - Program Development and Assessment
Willie Caldwell - Marketing for Nonprofits
Each module is designed to equip students with the essential skills and knowledge required to navigate the complex landscape of nonprofit management.
Program Director, Todd Stuart states, “The Online Nonprofit Governance certificate represents how connected our program is to the nonprofit sector and the role of creativity and innovation in helping to create thriving nonprofit organizations. This program represents a significant step forward in our commitment to preparing students for leadership roles in the arts and cultural sector. By focusing on nonprofit governance, we’re ensuring that our graduates are well-equipped to drive meaningful change and create lasting social impact.”
The Arts Management and Arts Entrepreneurship program at Miami University has long been at the forefront of educating arts leaders for the 21st century. This new initiative further cements the University’s position as a leader in the field, offering students unparalleled opportunities to develop the skills necessary for success in the dynamic world of nonprofit arts management.
As the nonprofit arts sector continues to evolve and expand, programs like this play a crucial role in shaping the future of cultural institutions. By emphasizing the importance of effective governance, Miami University is not only preparing students for successful careers but also contributing to the overall health and sustainability of the arts ecosystem.
