Musical Chairs on the Board of California Performing Arts Center | Nonprofit Quarterly

Musical Chairs on the Board of California Performing Arts Center | Nonprofit Quarterly: "Last Monday, NPQ reported on public discord surrounding the board of the Irvine Barclay Theatre in Irvine, California, and in particular, its chairman, Robert Farnsworth.

Another Region Beset with Post-Recession Nonprofit CEO Departures | Nonprofit Quarterly: "NPQ published a number of stories during the recession that it seemed that few long-term nonprofit executives were leaving their posts. We speculated that seasoned execs were digging in to see nonprofits through a turbulent period and that the resignations and retirements might come later, once the environment stabilized a bit.

Now, Western N.Y. is the second region where the local press has discussed a rash of resignations or retirements among mid-sized to large nonprofits."
