Dear Cultural Alliance members, friends and supporters,

Welcome to the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance’s 2011 Annual Member Meeting. The theme of this year’s event is “Charting a New Course,” a reference to the need to successfully navigate the many challenges and opportunities facing us as a sector. Arts and culture remains a key competitive strength for the region, but only through our diligence and focus will it continue to inspire the lives of our residents, educate our children, and bolster our economy.

This evening, we will unveil the findings of the 2011 Portfolio, an in-depth survey of the area’s nonprofit arts and cultural institutions. This report takes a close look at the effects of the recession on Greater Philadelphia’s cultural sector and will help civic, business and cultural leaders set a course that advances the long-term health and vitality of our region.

We hope that you enjoy the night’s festivities and conversation. On behalf of everyone at the Cultural Alliance, thank you for joining us.
