Abstract
Successful community engagement requires building trust over a sustained period of a time. Cultural organizations often attempt to rush the process. Motivated by a fear of being called out or a false sense of urgency, they search for quick fixes. Unfortunately, these quick fixes can ultimately damage the relationships they are hoping to build. Avoiding panic motivated outreach can help cultural organizations build sustainable relationships with their community.
