APAP announces move to online-only conference
In case you missed it, last Thursday we announced the cancellation of our in-person conference in New York City. APAP will still hold our online conference, and we are reimagining its daily schedule to accommodate the most critical and timely elements of the in-person conference. Look for an email with the updated online schedule very soon.
Just because the in-person conference will not happen in January 2022, the business does not stop. The booking cycle and how we do business in 2022 will be a core focus for discussion moving forward, starting with Real Talk in Real Time on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, at 4 p.m. (EST). Please join us! RSVP here.

Transparency Matters: Salary now required on the Job Bank!
In a big move for equity and in line with APAP's commitment to REDI (racial equity, diversity and inclusion), the APAP Job Bank now requires that employers include a salary range in all new job postings. APAP believes that pay transparency is a critical step toward pay equity and benefits both the job seeker and the employer.

A Brief SVOG Update: Approaching Close-Out
Earlier this month, the SBA hosted information sessions for active grantees of the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program on compliance and close out. While the replay has been sent to all grantees, you can watch it here in case you missed it.
In its latest update, the SBA also emphasized that this Wednesday, December 29, 2021, is the last date that the SBA will reissue expired or declined Appeal or Supplemental Action Items. The SBA advises that requests received after this date will not be approved.

New research available: Culture + Community in a Time of Transformation
Culture + Community is a national research initiative aimed at bridging the cultural sector with the experiences and needs of its communities and audiences during the pandemic and beyond. The findings coming out of this survey also aim to provide the field with actionable insights towards becoming more equitable, inclusive spaces and toward a movement of transformation as cultural organizations become more active participants within movements for social and racial justice.
