BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Beginning in fall 2013, the Art Students League of Denver’s (ASLD’s) Board of Directors, Executive Director, Staff and Faculty engaged in a process to create the organization’s five-year strategic plan. The team examined ASLD’s 25 year plus history and its current status in the greater Denver visual arts community. Based on this information, the team determined a path forward. The process for accomplishing this work is laid out in this document, as are the complete findings and recommendations.
