Joe Kantz, president of Leadership Susquehanna Valley, said the topic has attracted many members of local nonprofit boards and organizations, including municipal authorities, churches and fire companies, concerned with protecting public assets.
“People are reading about these embezzlements and starting to realize that anyone serving on a board needs to know what to look for so people can’t steal from the group,” said Kantz, chairman of the Snyder County Board of Commissioners. “I’ve signed up.”
The response has been so good that the number of seats was expanded from 50. Kantz said up to 125 seats are available and tickets can be purchased at the door or by calling Jennifer Daddario at 743-4100.
