		George Thorn, Co-Director of Arts Action Research and veteran arts professional, joined PMP and approximately forty representatives of the music community for a seminar on Leading Arts Boards.
		In one hemisphere of these circles, Thorn indicated the center, core, connected, and need-specific layers of participants in the “producing, presenting, curatorial and programmatic function of an organization.” At the center lies the professional leadership of the organization, and beyond that are the core workers, whether a company of artists or additional staff.
		In fact, Thorn has found that forming a “Resource Council” of these individuals – a council that never meets, mind you – can be a method of recognizing and organizing support without involving as many of these individuals in the fundraising and monitoring activities of the board.
