I am now the Ex.D. of the Iowa Alliance for Arts Ed., living in Davenport, my home town and see you are still working for quality education. Iowa has a long way to go to advocate for arts place in the 21st Century Skills so my position is a challenge but working w. good people who care about preparing students for the skills in innovation and imagination they need in our global society and for the quality of their lives is promising. I believe we are approaching a more positive age in this country and am prepared to assist. My guru is Sir Ken Robinson, who I worked with on a Getty project, Daniel Pink, and Richard Florida but you are still one of the best speakers I have heard. Good luck and if there is anything I can do, let me know. Diane Franken (was Fogler)<BR/>1610 Prospect Terrace, Davenport,Ia.52803 or iaaedf@mchsi.com or 563-324-9423.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
