Dear colleagues,

Please join the Performing Arts Readiness (PAR) project for the below free
emergency preparedness webinars that are tailored to the needs of
performing arts organizations. The better prepared an organization is, the
more quickly and effectively it can respond to emergencies and crises,
re-open for performances and programs, and return to normal operations.

*Event Preparedness: Active Shooters and Hostile Activity at Your Venues

*Description: *In recent years we have seen an increase in hostile attacks
across all sectors, including events. These attacks have come in a variety
of methods. Venues and companies have to be prepared for all scenarios and
need to be able to react to all emergencies. This webinar will cover the
types of attacks to prepare for, as well as the training you should
consider for your venues and staff. Our instructor, Emma Stuart, also
presents the “Safety and Security for Performing Arts,” “Road to Recovery:
Performing Arts During COVID,” and the “Pandemic Response for Performing
Arts Organizations” webinars for the PAR project.
*Instructor:* Emma Stuart

*Description: *Emergency response can be a daunting prospect for performing
arts organizations. This webinar will lay out the basic tenets of
responding to an emergency including support organizations, working with
vendors, and helpful resources for organization and planning. There will
also be a brief introduction to the Incident Command System so that
performing arts centers can work more seamlessly with their local first
responders.
*Instructor: *Donia Conn

*Crisis Communication and Reputation Management for Performing Arts
Organizations
<https://performingartsreadiness.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b093c4a1919def871a10e356&id=8162b92b66&e=a5d13dc9db>*:

*Description: **You serve on the staff of a local performing arts
organization. A press release was tweeted from a local environmental group
stating that your theatre’s plumbing system is leaching untreated waste
into the community’s waterway. While the press release is inaccurate,
season ticket holders and donors are demanding answers. And, the
organization’s Twitter handle is blowing up. You have an interview with the
editor of the state newspaper in five minutes. What do you say? What do you
do?*
As professionals rise through the ranks, they will face issues that thrust
them into the spotlight and threaten organizational reputation. A recent
study found that 9 in 10 business leaders (94%) admit that the executives
in their organizations need more training in core communication
disciplines, such as reputation management and strategic communication. Are
you prepared? This class reviews elements of strategic communication that
are essential before, during and after crisis events. It examines how your
organization can best prepare to respond to crisis and restore
organizational reputation.
*Instructor: * Kathleen Donohue Rennie
