Approval of Contract for Stakeholder Engagement/Strategic Plan
This is not a 3-5 year strategic plan; right now this is more of a 6 month plan that we need given our current financial state. CEO and CAO met with several consultants to work on this proposal and ultimately chose Attuned, an organization that has worked with over 150 programs including NOLAPS.

Lynn gave update on grants; we received $3500 grant from Jazz and Heritage Foundation to make upgrades at Live Oak's theater room. Giving Tuesday great success: Uptown $10,000 for library books and Gentilly just around $1,000 for arts supplies. Audubon has several ads going on right now with over 33,000 clicks and interactions. We are also going to begin running alumni campaigns with alumni sharing what they really loved about Audubon and how it helped them become who they are in order to help with retention.
