You really can’t buy this kind of publicity. Who knows, maybe Spiderman gets the last laugh in the end.
And for some real news, see the article below this (same web page) on Seattle’s Intiman Theater. Here’s a quote that should make you shudder:
“We discovered that basically our finance department appears to have been nonfunctional for a few months,” Ms. Anderson said. Asked if the board bore any responsibility for not seeing warning signs earlier, Ms. Anderson said no.
You may have the opportunity to serve on the board of a non-profit in the future. I have sat on three now, and all three of them have had moments of serious disconnects between those responsible for reporting finances (usually staff), and those with the fiduciary responsibility. Sadly, this is very, very common.
