Investing in and engaging the people and the systems we need to manage the institution effectively and efficiently , and to govern the organization responsibly .
Building audiences and deepening relationships so that we serve our entire Baltimore community , that we meaningfully engage with Montgomery County , and that we fully occupy our role as the leader of the performing arts in Maryland .
