Jill Schinberg, Associate Professor at the University of Kentucky, will be presenting “From Intentions to Metrics: Mapping IAVM Membership Diversity” at VenueConnect24.
An ‘expat’ from a 20+ year career in venue management, Jill has worked for music promoters, agents, international festivals, and performing arts centers in various capacities. She researches arts management consulting, programming as an artistic practice, and workplace equity issues while teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Leadership and Management, Arts Programming, and Arts Entrepreneurship. Jill is also a founder of Demographic Trends, a startup dedicated to collecting and analyzing demographic data for organizations in the arts, culture, and entertainment industries.
Read on for our Q&A with Schinberg.
What can VC24 attendees expect to learn at your session?
The purpose of this session is to share the baseline data from the first demographic survey conducted in 2023. The survey collected self-reported demographic data from members of the association. The results show a snapshot of the demographic makeup of the members of IAVM which may or may not be indicative of the industry as a whole. It will be of particular interest to folks who completed the survey, but anyone who is interested in diversity, equity, and inclusion will likely be curious about the results.
What is the best advice you’ve received?
If you’re asked to do a self-evaluation of any kind (e.g. in advance of a performance review meeting, tenure dossier, etc.), think of it like an acknowledgement–maybe even a celebration–of what you’ve accomplished. You might impress yourself.
What’s the last book you read?
Entitled: Discriminating Tastes and the Expansion of the Arts by Jennifer C. Lena
