Nevada: Advocacy Platform

Each year the board of directors of the Nevada Arts Council (NAC) issues a policy statement to guide its work with legislators, advocates and constituents. These statements assert the board’s position on funding and policy issues and provide leadership for advocates across the state. This year’s advocacy platform includes a concise justification for the agency based on economics, education and state values. After highlighting the significant cuts (43%) enacted to NAC’s budget last year, the statement urges policymakers to sustain level funding for “one of Nevada’s smallest, yet most efficient and innovative state agencies.” For more information about the platform and related council leadership efforts in Nevada, contact NAC Chair Tim Jones or Executive Director Susan Boskoff.
