Knowledge Mobilization Committee (KMC)
ACTOR’s Knowledge Mobilization Committee seeks mobilization opportunities in traditional, popular, and social media, including conferences, journals, magazines, digital tools, exhibitions, lecture-concerts, and pedagogical animations for school children and young adults. It also consults on the development of the ACTOR Timbre and Orchestration Resource. The KMC coordinator is responsible for the success of the mobilization activities, tracking key performance indicators, and reports to the Executive Committee, on which they will serve. (read more)
