Peer Assistance Network (PAN)
The Colorado Creative Industries (CCI) continues to offer affordable and accessible technical assistance service for Colorado’s non-profit arts organizations through the Peer Assistance Network (PAN).

The purpose of the PAN is to increase the stability of Colorado's Arts organizations and the quality of the arts programs they present. It provides a way for the staff and board members of arts organizations to help each other and the artists in their communities by exchanging advice between peers who manage similar programs and projects in other areas of the state.

The PAN Advisors are Colorado's strongest arts managers who have also been trained in facilitation skills. Among them, they have strengths in facilities development, local arts council development, public art program development, fundraising, capital campaigns, youth programming, endowment-building, marketing, board development, planning, and more. They are located throughout Colorado, from Steamboat Springs to Montrose to Idalia to Denver. PAN advisors are available on a first-come, first-served basis until all funds budgeted for PAN consultations are expended.

In order to make professional development opportunities accessible to all who need it, there is a suggested donation for PAN services based on your organization’s budget.

A "typical" PAN session includes the Advisor's preparation, a day on-site and a written follow-up report. We ask that you pay the Advisor's meals and lodging costs, if any. You will also be asked to assess the usefulness of the visit to your organization. This will help us continue the growth of the PAN program to best meet Colorado's needs!
