WMCA Cultural Leadership Board Meeting 2 - Minutes

CLB Forward Plan

There is scope for the Board to shape the Spending Review as the timeline of it has been changed due to COVID-19.

The Board were keen to be visible, given the current circumstances, to show commitment to the cultural sector. Their role as a group of cultural organisations consulted by the WMCA would be vital to supporting the sector.

The members decided that a soft launch, explaining the Board, it’s purpose, and that it is informing and supporting Mayor Andy Street and the WMCA’s response to the cultural sector would be beneficial. The members queried whether it would be useful to have some branding for the Board, but it was decided that priority should be given to the information being presented.

Action:
  • Adam to lead communications with Mayors team to ascertain if Andy would be interested by 30/03.

 

Adam explained that there will be a paper on the Board going to SED Board as part of the formal reporting mechanism, although the date of the next SED Board is yet to be confirmed.

Action:
  • Adam, Salla, and Keziah to develop digital launch.
