Join us June 5-8 for the 67th National League Conference – and yes, it will be bigger, better, Texas-style! Hosted by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, this year’s Conference will be jam-packed with learning for board members, staff, musicians, and volunteers.
We encourage you to take a look around the site and see what’s in store – provocative General Sessions and Perspectives, a wide variety of Toolboxes, and plenty of time with your peers. And don’t forget the music - it’s why we’re all here! The Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra are ready to show you what they can do.
In the coming weeks, stay tuned for more – more speakers, more sessions, more of what you requested. The League’s National Conference is where you’ll want to be in June!

Featured Resource: Governance Vlog: Governing Toward the Future—Parts I and II
In this four part series, Governing Toward the Future, organizational consultant Fred Miller describes four critical issues that orchestra boards and management must address.

In this vlog organizational consultant Fred Miller defines the differences between mission, vision and strategy and warns of the consequences of relentlessly pursuing an organizational mission when changes in the external environment require a different approach.
II. The Imperative of Positive Net Financial Margins and Capitalization
Fred discusses the consequences of poorly understood and deficient business models and undercapitalization.
