We were privileged to have as the speaker for our Integrity Awards ceremony, Art Taylor of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance. While most consumers are familiar with the reliability reports the bureau provides on businesses, many are aware of the important work that we do in the field of charitable oversight.
