Letter from the Executive Director<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wow, September already \u2013 summer really flew by!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you were able to take some time to recharge your batteries and get ready for the home stretch of 2023. Here at ELAN, our summer has been anything but quiet. We\u2019ve been hard at work preparing for a busy fall season, and it all kicks off this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up, ELAN is pleased to continue its longstanding participation in the annual meetings of the Arts, Culture and Heritage working group<\/a><\/strong>. These meetings are an important opportunity to bring together organizations working in arts, culture and heritage, as well as representatives from federal, provincial and regional institutions, to discuss key issues facing the English-speaking community in Quebec. ELAN\u2019s active engagement in this process has yielded significant results for our community over the years, with lively discussions leading directly to the development of projects such as our Community Digital Arts Hub (CDAH) and State of the Arts: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (SOTA on EDI) projects, to name just a couple of recent examples. I\u2019m very much looking forward to seeing what great ideas come out of this year\u2019s gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of SOTA on EDI, September marks a major milestone for us. After a year of intensive research and community consultation, we\u2019re now ready to share our work with you at a two-day conference, which kicks off with an online session on September 27th , followed by a hybrid in-person\/Zoom day on October 4th. The conference aims to bring together representatives from the English-language arts, culture and heritage community from across the province for a packed schedule of keynote presentations, panel discussions and group activities. We\u2019ll also be presenting an EDI plan of action, developed based on our extensive consultations, for the community\u2019s consideration. This will be an important opportunity to make your voice heard and we certainly hope you can join us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond these key dates, we have much more in store. Our Membership department is hard at work finalizing a packed schedule of webinars and workshops between now and next spring; and our Community Digital Arts Hub<\/a><\/strong> is ready to support you in your next digital project, be it a podcast, video or livestreamed event. As ever, stay tuned to our social media and newsletters for all the latest announcements! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
