How are nonprofit arts organizations different? with Guest Expert Alan Harrison

Are there fundamental differences between the board responsibilities of an arts nonprofit and a regular old charitable one?

Thanks again for joining us this week! Please send us your questions and check out the show notes at NonprofitEverything.com.
