Green Engage Essentials Logo

Organizational self-care is essential for a nonprofit’s impact and long-term sustainability. When left unaddressed, stress can hinder decision-making, creativity, and overall well-being.

In this interactive workshop, participants will examine the impact of stress within an organization and explore practices to promote individual and organizational self-care. Practical tools and strategies will be introduced to help mitigate stress and foster resilience.

This workshop will be facilitated by Kathy Liao, M-AAA’s organizational services program officer.

What is it? Essentials, a program of Mid-America Arts Alliance, is an introductory workshop focused on key capacity-building topics. This workshop uses asset mapping and community feedback to help organizations identify gaps and create actionable plans. Topics may include accessing grant funding, developing new revenue streams, building partnerships, improving community engagement, and more. Following the workshop, participants are invited to engage in an arts ecosystem conversation to discuss the needs and other resources M-AAA can provide through a future Engage program.

Who can attend? Arts and cultural organizations, museums, galleries, and organizations with arts education as part of their mission. Nonprofit organizations, fiscally sponsored organizations, and federally recognized tribes in or near Lincoln, Nebraska, can all register for this free event.

When is it happening? This session is held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., on August 8, 2025, at the LUX Center for the Arts in Lincoln, Nebraska.
