Special Agreement(s).
Services
The services provided by the Artist will be generally conducted in-person but much of the organizational work is online so we are flexible. ACW will be following the State of Minnesota COVID-19 protocol guidance in force at the time the Artist sessions are to occur. In conversations with mentors or staff ACW expects that you will be direct and honest and encourage the mentors or staff to do the same.
To be an ACTIVE member of ACW you must have your membership paid up and your 6 hours of volunteer work completed. We are a collective. ACW does not work unless we all contribute our time.
Meetings:
Orientation- If required.
Other meetings:
ACW artists are expected to attend as many member events and ACW sponsored events as possible unless there are compelling challenges.
Interns are expected to attend all Task Force meetings.
Payments:
ACW has a very small administrative team -mostly volunteers. Tracking the money is arduous. For this project, we request you start a Paypal account so we can keep the bookkeeping to a manageable task.
Conflict Resolution
When conflict arises please follow these steps to work towards resolution:
- Approach the person you are having an issue with and work towards proposed solutions. This includes a problem with the director. Assume good intentions.
- If solutions are not found contact Barbara Bridges.
- If conflict is yet to be resolved, members from the Advisory Committee may be asked to step in.
Cancellations
Participants must give 24 hours’ notice if there is a need to cancel or change the time of an appointment and will make every effort as well, to reschedule sessions which are canceled in a timely manner. If a participant does not cancel meetings in a timely manner on a regular basis, the team can end their relationship with that team member.
Communications:
If you are asking someone for an assist or data, identify the deadline. If you are being asked for a task, you may say. “Yes, I can do that by the deadline,” or “ I can’t do that by the deadline but I can do it by XXX, or “ So sorry but I can’t help with that.” What is NOT an option is no response. Email and text communications need a timely response.
Because of the number of staff involved with ACW we primarily use email to organize projects. If you are involved in a project, it is important for you to try to look at your email once a day. Sometimes, there might be 8 people waiting for your response and they can not move forward until you respond.
Other Deliverables:
Newsletter Articles. Artists are invited to write Newsletter articles
Social Media: Artists will be expected to share their progress on social media and participate in ACW social media efforts to provide visibility for their project. If you are being featured in a social media campaign, please honor the volunteer who is serving you and go and comment and share and like.
Termination of Services
Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACW shall determine if any funds are owed ACW or the artist upon early termination of the project. Such owed funds must be paid immediately to ACW.
Complete the W-9.
