Here is my Non-Profit Organization Educator - Ms. Joy Thompson
Joy Thompson Background
Joy Thompson has been a practicing program manager, management consultant and educator since 1973. She managed touring programs for the Connecticut Opera Express and Hartford Ballet from 1981-1984 and then directed the Wyoming Arts Council for 8 years. During that period, she developed a statewide Visual Arts Program, a statewide Literary Arts Program, and reorganized other agency programs to form a Performing Arts Program. She developed numerous pieces of legislation leading to the state’s first percent for art program and the establishment of an arts endowment fund. She founded ARTSPEAK, a multi-disciplinary conference celebrating the work of individual artists, All Arts Weekend, a legislative dinner and Governor’s Arts Awards, and was among the founders of Art Beyond Boundaries, a regional arts conference now in its 20th year. The staff Thompson built in Wyoming is still in place.
Thompson was recruited by Sangamon State University to direct the graduate Community Arts Management Program, one of the three original arts administration programs in the United States. She increased enrollment from 6 to 40 in just one year, established national internships, and increased the graduation rate for majors from only 30% to over 90%. She also directed the Graduate Certificate Program in the Management of Nonprofit Organizations, a twenty-hour professional certification program serving 200 students from diverse backgrounds each year.
Resigning from her teaching position in 1997, Thompson returned to the field to practice what she had been teaching. She served on the selection committee for the Illinois Governor’s Arts Awards in 1997, the operating support grants panel of the Indianapolis Arts Council in 1997, and the Coca Cola Scholar’s Foundation Selection Committee in 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1995. She has served on panels for the National Endowment for the Arts, the Idaho Arts Council, the Indiana Arts Council, Western States Arts Federation and MidCoast Fine Arts. She assisted Royal Neighbors of America by selecting its volunteer of the year in 2001. In 2006 and again in 2007, she taught a one-day course on fundraising practices for the Nonprofit Management Academy through the University of Iowa.
As a consultant, Thompson focuses on organizational development, particularly strategic planning, development planning, and the planning and execution of capital campaigns. She also provides board development, the development and implementation of staffing plans, staff development, and grants writing. Recent clients include John Lewis Community Services, Colonel Davenport House, Technology Now, AIDS Project Quad Cities, WVIK Public Radio, Boys and Girls Club of the Mississippi Valley, River Action, BalletQuad Cities, and Quad City Symphony Orchestra.
Since moving to the Quad Cities, Thompson has organized this region’s first liturgical arts festival, an ecumenical celebration of the places where the spirit and the arts meet. It was held for the first time in October of 1998 and celebrated the psalms in music, dance and literature involving Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Native American perspectives.
Thompson graduated from David Lipscomb University cum laude with a B.A. in Psychology and a secondary teaching certification. She also possesses two M.A. degrees, one in Speech and Theater from Murray State University and a second in Arts Administration from Indiana University where she received a full fellowship. Thompson attended the University of Texas at Austin in a doctoral program for one year where she had the distinct pleasure of teaching the entire Texas Longhorns’ football team in Introduction to Speech. She serves as adjunct professor at Black Hawk College, Scott Community College and St. Ambrose University’s ACCEL Program. Thompson currently serves a variety of clients in a four state region.
