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
