As part of this project she has lead focus group discussions, assisted with the survey analysis, conducted client case studies and assisted with the writing and editing of the report.

Kathleen Richards, spent the past decade working in the arts both on stage, and in the office. A graduate of The Catholic University of America, Kathleen has worked as the Program Manager for The Princess Grace Foundation, USA in New York and as the Development Director for Adventure Theatre in Glen Echo Park.
