In 2013, aluCine Latin Film + Media Arts Festival embarked on a strategic planning exercise to create a new five year plan for the organization. Our new strategic plan focuses on Board development, organizational development, and business planning to grow the organization to a place of impact and sustainability.
With funding from the Ontario Arts Council Compass program, aluCine engaged the services of consultant Judy Wolve (Consulting Matrix) to lead the planing sessions.
Thanks to Judy and our wonderful board of directors for their hard work, these are very exciting times for aluCine!
