Andrea Robinson shares her insight with M&C about ArtsKC's strategy for developing and maintaining a broad base of support. 

Be wise about where you invest your energy. Decide which outcomes are most important to you and what kinds of resources you have at your disposal to achieve them. You can’t do every single thing. It’s your job as a development professional to decide what counts and move intelligently in that direction.
