Yeah, I know. Derek Schofield compiled this list as a handout for the EFDSS stall at the Association of Festival Organisers conference, and it does make a really good answer to the question, "But what does EFDSS actually DO?"

The initiatives which made all of this happen largely pre-date my involvement, but it still makes me really proud to be involved. There's only more good stuff to come.

And maybe, when you look at some of the big grants and projects, it begins to demonstrate why having an experienced arts mananger leading the society is such an important step right now.

And not to bang on too much, but the best way for people to support this work is to get involved, either by simply joining EFDSS or by taking a more active role - either would be welcomed.
