The agreement states that RACC will receive all intellectual property and other materials related to the Art of Leadership program. This program helps train business leaders to become effective board members for local arts organizations. RACC will also assume ownership of the Arts Breakfast of Champions, an annual event recognizing the community’s top business donors to the arts.
“We are thrilled that RACC will acquire two of BCA’s hallmark programs, ensuring this important part of connecting Portland’s business and arts and culture communities,” said Parker Lee, BCA President. “We’ve considered many potential partners for acquiring BCA’s valuable programs and assets – but none is more appropriate than the RACC. RACC’s commitment to develop and evolve these programs will be a shining example of how the collaboration of arts, culture and business can build a better and vibrant city.”
RACC will also establish a new advisory committee, a Business Committee for the Arts, composed of former BCA board members and other business leaders. This new Committee will also advise the RACC board of directors on important issues involving the intersection between arts and business. They will also assist in the further development of Work for Art, which is RACC’s workplace giving campaign for arts and culture organizations.
