a. This forum was a round table about the best practices to engage communities that often do not participant in the arts. The panelist consisted art administrators from mostly New York City, which some audience members were disappointed by.

b. This forum was the most organized one I had been to. The panelist shared examples of how they are creating spaces more inclusive as well as accessible. This was also emphasized by the fact that the forum was conducted as a round table. The moderator did a great job at keeping the panel on track, it was clear that he had planned the panel appropriately and knew what he wanted each panelist to emphasize. He was the only moderator who summarized what each panelist shared, and how each of their contributions related to one another,

c. I thought that the decision to make the forum a round table really kept all audience members involved in the conversation that was occurring. I too appreciated how the moderator truly kept the session organized and made sure each panelist had the opportunity to share meaningful information.

d. I felt this session was the most valuable one that I attended. It was related to my work practice and the panelist shared some examples that I could implement in my own work place.

a. This forum discussed how important both access and inclusivity should be to organizations. There was an emphasis on how important access is and how it is rarely discussed while engaging in conversations regarding equity diversity and inclusion. Panelist expressed that can not have these things unless people have access to the organization. It too felt that the discussion mostly focused around physical disability and barley touched about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities

b. It was very unclear if there was a moderator or "leader" during this forum. This made the panel disorganized and not cohesive. Though what was emphasized amongst the panelist is having conversations and actively listening to people suggestions. No one knows what it is like to live with a disability especially being that one can not appropriate disability. Therefore figuring out the best steps to creating an organization more accessible is by speaking to the people who are effected the most. Additionally, there was much tension amongst the different panelist in the room, which made me think that the panelist did little planning prior to the event. Thus reminding me how important it is to practice and be prepared before presenting in front of other, ones lack of readiness is always apparent.

c. I agree that conversations about people with disability can not be had without someone living with a disability in the room. Though this should be said for all marginalized groups, no one person can make assumptions about another persons life. Although I emphasis the importance of collaboration in work, I do think there need to be some type or leader or head to keep the group organized and on track.

d. Being that it felt as though there was a lot of tension and disagreement amongst panelist I would say that this forum was not very useful. I think that part of the disorganization was due to the fact that this topic that has only recently been discussed and emphasized in the arts.

a. This forum was about ways in which artists and organizations can make their practices more eco friendly. The panel consisted of different artists who are highlighting climate change in their work. The panelist also shared examples of how organizations are taking steps to become more environmentally friendly. b. The moderator had a clear understanding of who was one the panel, though it did not feel as though he knew how to connect each panelist. I did appreciate how Tim Cole allowed the audience to participant quite frequently though at times I felt like he did not have a grasp of how to control audience contributions. Throughout the forum I heard more meaningful advice and stories from audience members than panelist, and that might be because the panelist did not have enough time to share. c. One couple in the audience shared how they have removed all playbills from their theater. Although I am not in the performing arts I would like to reduce the amount of paper used at my work place on a daily basis. I have started to send out written material to my co workers and allowing them to decide whether or not they print it. Additionally I will take steps in trying to reduce the amount of new paper at the studio. Rather than buying paper I plan to always stock up at MFTA. d. As such a new topic in the arts world, I felt as though none of the panelist had any solid advice or best practices that audience members could walk away with. Though I do think that the fact that this forum was available encourages people to start thinking about practices to implement in their own organizations
