What you are doing in the field of arts management is as ground breaking here in the states as it is internationally.  The Kennedy Center - and particularly you, Michael - are doing such needed work in the field.  Most American schools of arts management - in my opinion - only teach the usual stuff...grantsmanship, writing press releases, etc (which will only get you so far...the real secret is strategy, and you're giving us those tools to really strategize effectively).  You are giving American arts managers an international perspective so that we can learn from all of your extraordinary travels.  Internationally, you're sharing important American arts models.  It's all incredibly fascinating, and I'm learning so much!
