One of the many things I admire about my friend Stewart D. McLaurin is his ability to remind us that the strongest connections are often the most personal ones. As a member of the Forbes Nonprofit Council, Stewart’s latest Forbes article makes a compelling case for why people-to-people relationships matter now more than ever—and why nonprofits, educational institutions, and cultural organizations have such an important role to play. It’s a thoughtful, timely read that I highly recommend. Congratulations, Stewart, on another outstanding article!
