Nonprofit Risk Management Center
December 10, 2018
One of the finest sessions among many at our latest Risk Summit in Philadelphia was a program presented by Nick Pozek on the stewardship of cultural nonprofits. Since not everyone had the pleasure of sitting in, NRMC asked Nick if he would write this week’s RISK eNews column, so that our readers could experience his perspective on the use and abuse of controversy. We are grateful he accepted our invitation.
