Open to all who are interested in meeting with peers to share resources, ask questions, and talk through the issues of policy, protocol, legal issues, and whatever else is on your mind regarding employment and staff well-being.

DBAA’s Youth and Family Programs Roundtable is a monthly meeting for any and all staff at DBAA organizations involved in planning and executing programs for young people. Meetings are open-agenda unless otherwise specified.

The DBAA Marketing Group covers all things marketing, communications, and public relations.

We identify as the Downtown Brooklyn Arts Alliance and, at this organization’s beginnings we knew each other quite well but organizations change. People move on to different jobs, relationships shift and in some cases the personal connections that preceded the creation of DBAA disappeared. This is a call to establish new ones.

What if we created a place where we could get to know each other? A place that we could go on a regular basis, where we could brig a “brown-bag” lunch and hang out together with other artists, administrators, and all of R of the Downtown Brookly Arts district. We could talk about anything we want, bring up work issues, try out a song, dance, spoken word piece or a scene? If we could do this twice a month, maybe that will pay off in ways we can’t even count…yet.

No need to reserve or RSVP. It’s just drop in, eat, stay awhile and go about your day.

We’ll supply water. Bring your own lunch. Who knows, maybe this will be a THING?

Last September, DBAA’s Marketing Roundtable sponsored a workshop on video for marketing led by Musa Bacon from BRIC and focused on selecting a platform and the best ways to use each platform. Musa is back for Part II of the workshop which will focus on producing videos, including tips for video shooting, editing, and tools available on your phone, ideas for what kinds of videos are best for marketing purposes. Please RSVP below (we’ll send out the link on the day-of) and feel free to submit any specific questions you have that you would like to see covered in the presentation. There will also be time for Q&A at the workshop.

Once a month we do "office hours" for anyone who has a topic to raise for discussion or just wants to say hello. Like DBAA's roundtables, these are a great place to source answers to questions, discuss issues of mutual concern, and get to know others in the cohort in a small discussion format. Please feel free to drop in and do get in touch if you would like to suggest a topic for discussion in advance.

Often straddling fundraising and marketing, year end campaigns such as those organized around Giving Tuesday or an Annual Fund vary a lot in strategy and in results from organization to organization. For those who are thinking about how to make the most of fundraising in the next few months, we're organizing a special session to share knowledge and tips on how to get the best results (or alternately, how to keep things in perspective).

We’ll start off with a 15-20 minute “mini-panel” of development and marketing leaders from our cohort who have offered to share their approaches, and will devote the rest of the session to discussion. Panelists:

Rose Crichton-White, Director of Marketing and Communications at Brooklyn Conservatory of Music

Christiamilda Correa, Director of Communications and Marketing at Reel Works

Emily Bookwalter, Director of Development at Roulette

 All staff at DBAA member organizations are welcome to join. This should be especially good for experienced development and marketing staff who want to brainstorm and swap tips, as well as for those who are new to fundraising and marketing and want to learn. Please feel free to invite colleagues.
