“Where does our best work lie as individuals and as organizations? It’s between where our stated values match our practiced values. The idea is to make that area as big as possible,” shared Lecolion Washington, Executive Director of the Community Music Center of Boston, during his keynote. “That is our goal. That’s our intent. That’s the thing we’re going for.”

“Make sure the conditions of this world that you have are better for your neighbor,” reminded Harold Steward of the New England Foundation for the Arts.
