Excellence:

  • This narrative did not make full use of available space to describe specific goals and measurable objectives.  For instance, discuss in greater detail the children's series of concerts.  Which types of schools are sought, what are their demographics, how many students are reached, does the organization aspire to increase this number? Etc.
  • What type of non-traditional settings are sought for the mini/informal concerts.  No details were provided here.

Impact:

  • Again, here more detail about the Children's Series is needed.  E.g., describe "untraditional venues and untraditional partners," What was the attendance? The then noted venue do not appear to be "untraditional."
  • How is the organization striving to diversify it's audience?  No details were presented though mentioning Palm Beach County being diverse.
  • No local economic data details were provided.
  • M/P: Structure is good.  Make sure to also provide numbers of such items as social media likes/followers, direct mail campaigns, digital campaigns and the like.

Mangement:

  • Evaluation plan: It would be good to see how patron feedback/reception is sought and utilized in determining upcoming season plans.
