The Peer Advisor Network (PAN) is a flexible, short-term consulting service that matches your nonprofit or emerging group with an advisor from our impressive roster of peer executive directors, finance directors, marketing directors, consultants, curriculum designers, planners, and lots more talent and experience. Address your organization’s health and capacity issues before there’s a problem. The cost is subsidized by CCT so your organization pays only one third ($100/day) of the already discounted $300 per day consulting fee charged by our para-consultants. The program is administered regionally by five local arts organizations in partnership with the Commission. Review the program at the Commission’s PAN web site: cultureandtourism.org/cct/cwp You may also contact me at any time for a more in-depth conversation about your needs: John Cusano at 860.256.2723 or email: john.cusano@ct.gov (return to top) RIDGEFIELD LIBRARY SEEKS VOLUNTEERS Need to log some community service hours for school, church or synagogue, Scouts or another club or resume for college?

In the past, CERF provided assistance only to artists who earned a living from their work for at least three years. "We have expanded our guidelines," notes program director Craig Nutt, " because we recognize that disasters can strike artists who have recently started their careers and businesses." To be eligible an applicant must demonstrate a clear commitment to working full-time as a craft artist along with working to advance their knowledge in their chosen media through education, apprenticeships or internships.
