state arts action network

The State Arts Action Network meets in person twice a year. In addition to the meeting minutes below, SAAN members also report back to the group what has been happening in their states through what we call the State of the State Reports.  The reports prior to 2006 are available below, but since 2007, they have been included in the network meeting minutes. 

Also, as of 2007, Professional Development Call notes and recordings have been exclusively hosted on the SAAN Members-Only site.  Professional development meeting notes are still available on this page.
