One major hire was the replacement of our most senior position in Development due to turnover. On May 1, 2018 we entered into an Agreement with Howe-Lewis in order to conduct a search for a Chief Development Officer, culminating in the hiring of Talya Westbrook in December of 2018. During the Summer, HSA had an intern program to offer an engaging professional learning experience to college students interested in Arts Administration. Three college students spent 10 weeks at HSA. In January 2019, HSA engaged Chesray Dolpha as Director of the Theatre Department. Prior to her work at HSA, Ms. Dolpha was the Program Director at Urban Arts Partnership and a lead teaching artist for TDF Educational programs in NYC. Student Services: The Student Services department streamlined its operations with improved automation. The registration process became paperless, which has improved recordkeeping and efficiency.Marketing: HSA improved its reach by increasing its activity on digital platforms. A new Marketing & Audience Engagement Coordinator was added to the team to provide more coverage and assist in creating effective campaigns across all platforms. HSA retained the services of LaPine Consultants to conduct a review of our digital marketing strategy. The review included a study of the mission statement, brand guidelines, digital platforms, and messaging. Development : Onboarding new Chief Development Officer (CDO). The CDO Talya Westbrook started in the second half of FY18. She spent the remainder of FY18 and most of FY19 reviewing the fundraising culture, overseeing the training and building of the Development team and supporting the execution of the HSA gala. Development focused efforts and received funding from foundations, government grants and individuals directed to scholarship, general operating support, financial aid and community programs. These efforts alongside the HSA mask ball gala raised over $1 million for general operating support. Development Staff worked with senior level volunteers to revitalize the Associate Board which is comprised of young professionals interested in networking and supporting the HSA mission.Operations: In September 2019, HSA broke ground on The Renaissance Project, a $9.5 million renovation that will provide crucial maintenance and updates to the original 1979 structure. During FY19, HSA made extensive plans for the renovation, consulting with architects and construction firms including Imrey Studio, LLC, Seamus Henchy and Associates, Inc., Archstone Builders LLC, Walters-Storyk Design Group, and others. While planned faade work was delayed due to evolving design and use plans, HSA performed extensive work throughout the building. A room used for an office was converted into a classroom (Studio 109). Studio 112 was also refurbished to be used as a flexible space for classes, rentals, and other uses. Because of this room's increased flexibility, it is currently serving as the new entrance during faade renovation. Additional physical improvements included adding a ramp in the front of the building and an elevator for staff and visitors. Additionally, the HVAC system was updated, and basic repairs and physical improvements were made throughout the building.Programs: HSA reached nearly 2,000 students and over 10,000 family and community members in FY19 through our core programs: Children's Enrichment group and private instruction for 953 students in music, dance, theater, and art & design; HSA Prep tuition free, conservatory-level pre-professional instruction for 75 arts-career-focused students ages 8-18; teen Summer Intensives in Theatre and, for the first time in 2018, Dance; ARTScape Summer Camp for 205 children ages 4-12; offsite Educational Outreach partnerships serving 650 students in local schools; and Community Programs performances, workshops, exhibitions, and events.

Fifty-eight percent of our students receive financial aid and support, and over 50% of families enroll in payment plans each year, evidencing a high level of financial need.Due to HSAs unique multidisciplinary approach, many students take courses in more than one artistic discipline.
