Leadership Arts

For over 21 years, the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts has built a pipeline of leaders in the arts through the Leadership Arts Program. This unique nine-month program equips and inspires professionals to become cultural board members and arts advocates. There are more than 900 Leadership Arts graduates, many of whom continue to serve in leadership positions ranging from governing boards to working committees with local and regional organizations. They also act as cultural advocates for the interaction between the arts and business communities.


Deborah Jordy Leadership Arts Scholarship Fund

Named after CBCA's former executive director, this scholarship fund is committed to ensuring that cultural nonprofits are led by diverse, effective and inspired board members. The fund provides full and partial scholarships to as many Leadership Arts participants as possible and is intended to recognize great leadership potential and encourage the inclusion of a diversity of perspectives in advancing arts and culture. Program graduates have served in 650 volunteer positions and continue to serve the Colorado arts community.
