This week’s massive enews is about being contextually fine and why ‘ally’ is (still) a verb 12 months after the Voice referendum and the start of the latest Pal estinian gen ocide, as well as some governance mentions, thoughts on taking the lead and another thing about board solidarity and confidentiality (and more).

Failure is the status quo at the moment when it comes to Australian arts, cultural and non-profit organisations' response (or lack of response) to Palestine as a governance, risk and crisis management, duty of care and financial issue.

Just finished reading How to Chair a Meeting by MI Puregger, an endearing Australian governance artefact from the 1950s with a lot to teach us about how much still needs to change. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5mo3RdBcH5/?igsh=MXM5dXpzb3ZmNjE5dg==

My latest #AndAnotherThing vlog is an extract of my longer letter to boards, leaders and organisations about risk and reputation management, crisis communications and duty of care from the pointy intersection of arts and human rights advocacy. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2qMyxahC8R/?igsh=MTJoc2NmOHFoZ3R4ZA==

Board members, we (still) need to talk about P-lestine... this is Part 2 of my ‘and another thing’ vlog series about how what’s happening in the world is playing out for arts and cultural organisations right now (including Sydney Theatre Company and Mushroom Records, with learnings from Ruth De Souza and The Relationship is the Project). https://www.tiktok.com/@katelarsenkeys/video/7307806707659459842

Board members, we need to talk about Palestine.

This is the first instalment of a multi-part vlog that talks about some of the ways what’s happening in the Middle East is playing out for arts and cultural organisations in Australia right now (including ACCA, NAVA and Collingwood Yards), and what Boards should be thinking, doing and talking about in response.

Our for-purpose sectors are designed to put others first – but we’re much better at doing so for our audiences than ourselves. This month’s ‘and another thing’ vlog uses the examples of the #VoiceToParliament referendum, #EthicalFundraising and our ‘post’-pandemic workforce crisis to talk about Board members’ #DutyOfCare to their organisations, teams and each other. https://www.tiktok.com/@katelarsenkeys/video/7288817117871213826
