Ashley's knowledge of what makes an arts organization work (and fail) is so uniquely and thoroughly developed that she is perfect to bounce an idea (and all of the pros and cons I've already come up with to present to my board) off of! She can talk in specifics and broad terms and be incredibly helpful both ways.
