There's an excellent video that I can recommend:
Diane Ragsdale on Surviving the Culture Change (Full Remarks) from Arts Alliance Illinois on Vimeo.
Video of Diane Ragsdale's keynote at the Arts Alliance Illinois 2010 Members' Meeting and Reception on June 21 at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. For more information, visit artsalliance.org/reception.
