How will you <br />evaluate whether or <br />not your goals have <br />been met? <br />W e use a combination of quantitative and qualitative measures to evaluate <br />our progress toward organizational goals. These methods help us assess <br />the reach, relevance, and impact of our programming and operations. <br />Audience Data & Participation <br />W e track attendance figures for all screenings and events, with special <br />attention to participation in thematic series, community partnerships, and <br />screenings featuring underrepresented voices. W e analyze year-over-year <br />changes in ticket sales, membership growth, and donor retention to gauge <br />sustained engagement. <br />Program Diversity <br />Each quarter, we assess the diversity of our film offerings across multiple <br />dimensions—geography, language, subject matter, and filmmaker identity— <br />to ensure we are curating a representative and inclusive slate. W e also <br />monitor the balance between first-run, repertory, local, and international <br />titles. <br />Community Engagement <br />W e collect feedback through post-screening discussions, online surveys, <br />comments book, and informal conversations with audiences and partners. <br />These responses help us understand what resonates and where there’s <br />room for growth. For special programs like our Juneteenth partnership or <br />environmental series, we work closely with collaborators to debrief and <br />identify outcomes and improvements. <br />Operational Benchmarks <br />The Board regularly reviews internal benchmarks such as ticket pricing, <br />staffing capacity, technology upgrades, and financial sustainability. These <br />metrics help ensure we are delivering on our mission while maintaining a <br />strong foundation for future growth. <br />Ultimately, success means that more people are engaging meaningfully with <br />film, that our programs reflect and respond to our community, and that the <br />Chelsea remains a welcoming cultural hub for all. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: D6DEE171-391E-468D-8E46-8B165027A569
