“Great American and the Nonprofit Risk Management Center have had a strong relationship throughout our history,” notes Melanie Lockwood Herman, Executive Director of the Center. “Several years ago we worked with the team in the Specialty Human Services Division to design a virtual risk management classroom for Great American’s nonprofit insureds, and we have been proud to feature Great American as an advertiser and sponsor of our popular publication, Risk Management Essentials. It is gratifying to see Great American enhance its support and we are absolutely delighted that the company has agreed to lend a hand in co-hosting our 2012 Summit. With its long-term commitment to providing affordable coverage for social services and other nonprofits in addition to sound risk management support, Great American’s support helps make the Center’s mission possible.”
