ABM in Action at Hopkinton Center for the Arts
ABM for Good worked with the Hopkinton (MA) Center for the Arts to outline a practical, structured approach that emphasized proactive outreach to the highest-potential sponsors. Through a half-day workshop and followup, the ABM for Good team provided tools and examples for HCA to put in place a six-step process that supports a more focused, efficient, and effective approach.
