About the Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n

For over 15 years, GIA members working in and with the public sector have been striving to advance racial equity through arts and culture and public policy. Following the notable increase in public sector workers amongst the GIA members – and the introduction of the\u00a0Cultural Policy Action Lab<\/a> – the Public Sector & Cultural Policy Committee (Committee) formalized in 2025. With the support of a group of national co-designers who bring deep experience leading equitable transformation in the public sector at all scales, the Committee aims to be an incubator for state and local funder organizing, supporting cultural advocacy, advancing field learning through cross-sector collaboration, and convening practitioners working to advance racial equity. The committee will advise, inspire, and inform GIA\u2019s thought leadership and programming in support of more equitable cultural funding and\u00a0public policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Committee Responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

The operational goal of the Committee is to\u00a0advance racial equity through arts and culture and public policy. The three primary organizing lenses for the Committee are:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Organizing communities of practice & networks of care grounded in racial justice
\nOperationalizing cross-sector practice between arts and non-arts sectors
\nAdvancing support for cultural advocacy & policy<\/p>\n

Committee Structure<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Committee is comprised of up to 15 GIA members, public sector funders, and cultural policy advisors representing a spectrum of grantmakers who believe in the importance of advancing racial equity through arts and culture and public policy. The Committee meets for business for one hour, every other month starting in March, to advise, inspire, and inform GIA\u2019s thought leadership and programming in support of more equitable cultural funding and public policy. Optional one-hour peer-to-peer learning labs occur quarterly in the interim months.<\/p>\n

The membership seeks a diversity of:<\/p>\n

Geographic representation, including regional, national, and international grantmaking programs.
\nTypes of grantmakers working throughout the public sector including local, state, federal, and Tribal agencies; additionally private sector funders, national partners, and other nonprofit grantmaking organizations who work in collaboration with and support of public policy and advocacy.
\nPerspectives, experience, and years in the field.<\/p>\n

Committee members serve up to two (2), two-year terms and a required year off the committee after four years of service.<\/p>\n

To express interest in joining the committee or to suggest a colleague, please complete the nomination form<\/a> by Friday, January\u00a024, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You may also contact Nadia Elokdah<\/strong><\/a>, GIA vice president & director of programs, or current committee advisor, Randy Engstrom<\/strong><\/a>, co-founder and principal, Third Way Creative, for additional questions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
