Dear Museum Group

I am new to this list so I would like to take this moment to introduce myself
to the members. 

I am Mr. Nicola Linza. I am 38 years old and live in Palm Beach, Florida. 
I am a director and consultant [college trained in art design and architecture 
with a minor in international political science.] I am involved in a number of 
cultural management activities including documentary production, art grant panels 
and fund-raising to special project committee chairmanship. I have a long history 
in the field of cultural security and working closely with foreign cultural affairs 
divisions and art institutions here in the United States and abroad. 
I was raised around the issues of security [father was a security executive,] 
emergency-management, disaster recovery and response which has strongly 
influenced me and my career in the arts. In California prior to my college career 
while working as a data communications specialist and security analyst I formed 
a group called Cultural Disaster Protection.  I still run this group and its focus has 
become a professional focus to my career with a discussion group to address these 
issues called CDP - Cultural Disaster Protection which I moderate on Yahoo. 

I am pleased to have found the Museum list.  I look forward to getting to know everyone. 

Best regards,
Nicola Linza
