Cultural Council Committees
 

Micro-Credit Committee
The Micro-Credit Program Committee manages a revolving loan funding program to help support and finance Broward-based artists and their projects. In addition, the Committee designs and implements an Artist as an Entrepreneurial Program series; a capacity-building repertoire to help the artist community better understand their unique enterprise making both the artist community, and the micro-credit program, more successful. The individuals involved in these creative industries are a vital component of the area’s job creation and retention. (earnings in a regional economy rise as the incidence of artists within its boundaries increases, because artists’ creativity and specialized skills enhance the design, production and marketing of products and services in other sectors).

Committees are set up to implement annual or multi-year goals.  Members are urged to sit on committees that are of interest to them.  Committee business should be handled at the committee level and not in regular meetings.  If policy decisions cannot be agreed upon by the committee, their report should be reviewed at the Executive Committee prior to the regular meeting of the BCC.
