Under her management, the organization more than doubled its budget and programmatic activities, raised over $50M in public-private partnerships to support the arts, and launched several new initiatives, including Turnaround Arts, a partnership with the US Department of Education and the Ford Foundation to bring arts education to a group of the country's lowest-performing elementary schools, the National Student Poets Program, and a program with the Smithsonian Institution, UNESCO and the U.S. Department of State to rescue and preserve Haitian cultural artifacts in the wake of the 2009 hurricane.
