20 days have always passed since the New Year\u2019s Day.
Soon in the US, the presidential inauguration ceremony will take place. I hope that the ceremony will go smoothly \u2013 without no violent incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As explained in the previous post<\/a>, the Risk Management Office for Nonprofit Organizations marked its 20th anniversary in December last year. I received another message from my dear friend Nancy Peterson, former Community Cats Program Manager, the Humane Society of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of your office. That\u2019s quite an accomplishment!\u201d<\/span><\/p>Nancy Peterson, former Community Cats Program Manager
the Humane Society of the United States<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I met Nancy when I was practicing my internship at the Nonprofit Risk Management Center in 2000. I took a workshop on nonprofit management hosted by a nonprofit management support organization in Washington, DC. Nancy was a participant in the workshop. During a break, we went for lunch together (we had Thai foods, if my memory serves me correctly). I had fun talking with her. Both of us turned out to be cat persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, when I visit the US, she always welcomes me to stay together. During my stay, we always have fun. She also helped me correct my English to develop this site. I cannot thank her enough for her hospitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nancy currently sits on a board for two nonprofit organizations for cats. I admire her love and passion for not only her own cat (Jenny) but for all the cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We just chatted on ZOOM a few days ago. It was fun and 90 minutes passes so quickly. I hope to talk to you again soon \u2013 in person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, my experiences in the nonprofit sector are based upon all the support and friendship by so many people. I am grateful to my friends for their support and friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
