Anne is a writer and consultant who stays closely connected to an international network of city leaders, cultural professionals, and individual artists. She is an expert in the creative industries and cultural tourism in the United States, as well as the contributions of the arts toward educational, social, and environmental goals.
Anne most recently served as Associate Vice President for Field Services at Americans for the Arts. In this role, she produced an annual program of leadership events for a national audience of cultural professionals and their allies in government, business, and education. She consulted directly with hundreds of local arts leaders to provide strategy and support for their efforts and routinely met with delegations of foreign cultural leaders on visits sponsored by the U.S. State Department. She served as editor of the Americans for the Arts Monograph Series, and is the author of Public Funding for the Arts at the Local Level.
Anne has consulted independently with businesses, non-profits, and public institutions including Culture Action Europe, the Canadian Conference on the Arts, and the California Arts Council. She received a bachelors degree from Northern Arizona University–where she learned to listen, think, and write. Anne also studied public policy at the University of Maryland at College Park, an experience that kindled a lifelong interest in cultural leadership. She now teaches at American University in the Arts Management Program.
