Jonathan Katz Honored at Americans for the Arts Conference

National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) CEO Jonathan Katz received a special Distinguished Achievement Award from Americans for the Arts (AFTA) at that organization's annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee, on June 14.

In his introduction, AFTA President and CEO Robert Lynch said, "Jonathan is an elegant and eloquent spokesperson for the public value of arts and culture in America. He has led NASAA to a place of prominence and partnership, creating an institution deeply steeped in knowledge, national-level strategic planning and advocacy. Which is not, actually, all that surprising—Jonathan's entire career has been as a teacher and advocate for the power of art."
