The MAM Speaker Series Presents What Do You Do When Everything Goes Wrong: How to Steer an Arts Organization Through Tumultuous Times.  Join Symphony Tacoma Executive Director, Karina Bharne, for a presentation about her time with the San Antonio Symphony. The Symphony was on the verge of collapse after a failed takeover by another non-profit organization. Through strong community partnership and board support, the symphony was able to resurrect its previously cancelled season. Hear the steps that Karina and her team took to steer the organization through that tumultuous time.
