Congratulations

As reported last year, RHA received a grant from Mid-America Arts Alliance in partnership with the Texas Commission on the Arts, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, The Brown Foundation, and The Meadows Foundation to participate in the Hands-on Experiential Learning Project (HELP) on Governance and Organization. It has been such a wonderful learning experience for the RHA Board. The directors who attended the workshops worked with the rest of the board to define the purpose and goals of RHA and HELP has given us a better understanding of governance and skills to perform the duties of the association.
