Crisis Communications

It?s inevitable, and no
one escapes: things go horribly wrong and there is a big mess that needs
attention. But that attention must be carefully considered before a troublesome
situation becomes worse.

 Who do you call, who can offer sage advice and
guidance?

• The hotel where the conference had been held billed
  the nonprofit for a ruinous penalty that had been in the fine print of the
  contract. The employee who signed the contract is no longer employed there, and
  the agent from the hotel is also gone.

• A letter from an unhappy donor alerts you to a big
  internal problem with an employee mishandling checks and violating company
  policy when speaking to members.

• The national press coverage you were so excited
  about for your cause is manipulated to make the cause look trivial and
  foolish.

• Some requests for informational filings from the
  state were ignored, and now your corporate status is ?suspended? by the state.

• An employee behaves outrageously, if not
  criminally, at your biggest event of the year.
