*News* - I am starting a new fixed-term job soon as Portfolio Manager with Arts Council of Wales working on the development of dance, classical music and circus, and the arts and young people.
This is a fixed-term but full-time contract, which will greatly add to my skillset and experience. It does mean that I am temporarily stepping out of the many things that have kept me busy through two decades of freelancing & employment through Laura H Drane Associates.
The company will still tick over, and there will be work running through it, often led by Associates, including our upcoming and newly developed support offer. I remain a Director of the company and will also perform essential governance duties.
Laura H Drane Associates will still be keeping in touch through our usual channels - the e-newsletter, the website etc plus our legendary Christmas card! Do continue to contact me/us about your needs and requests so that LHDA can continue to support you, now and in the future.

Over the last year more and more colleagues and organisations have asked about training on bidwriting and budgets.
