“Participants from seven (7) nationally-recognized independent art schools and college art departments. This "train the trainer" program introduces faculty and career services staff to techniques of integrating the topic of risk management into their professional practice courses and workshops. Since the launch of this training program in 2012, eleven (11) schools have sent representatives. In the 2013-14 academic year, we estimate that more than 300 students (in bfa, mfa and certificate programs) received instruction in strategies to safeguard a creative career. Graduates of the 2012 and 2013 pilot workshops not only have exchanged teaching materials they have produced, but they are also promoting the importance of this curriculum to their colleagues both within and beyond their institutions. More than 900 people attended the nineteen (19) workshops and conference presentations cerf+ staff provided. In addition, our staff served as career-strengthening resources for artists by having our information booth at several conferences and art shows, such as the national council on education for the ceramic arts (nceca) and convergence, a conference of the handweavers guild of america in fiscal year 2014, cerf+ continued to provide a leadership role in building new alliances between the arts sector and the general emergency management field. Our national advocacy efforts to change the interpretation of artists' (and other self-employed workers) eligibility for post-disaster tool and equipment replacement by the federal emergency management agency (fema) continued to be one of two policy position priorities adopted by the national voluntary organizations active in disaster (nvoad). Cerf+'s director of programs was a featured presenter at nvoad's annual conference describing efforts within the arts community to become more disaster resilient and highlighting how the arts sector can contribute to recovery in communities after disasters.”
