Report on the 2002 Chalmbers conference : creative management, creative solutions

The Creative Management project addresses the impending leadership crisis in the arts, as the pioneer leaders of the creative organizations leave the work force prematurely or prepare for retirement. Specifically, it deals with how Canada can keep current managers and administrators in the workforce and provide means for their professional renewal and how it can develop, recruit and retain the next generation of qualified, committed personnel for the sector. This report reflects the conclusions reached through research and consultations with the cultural community and its partners, as well as a day-long discussion at the annual Chalmers conference in June 2002.
