“In the process of founding and establishing our arts charity, Project Knew Groove, Micheal Sturtz was very helpful in imparting to us the necessary knowledge and understanding of how to run a 501(c)3 non profit. In our initial phase, members from the community gathered with a common goal and idea. Soon after our founding we ran into many questions and problems with managing the organization and moving forward. After a few meetings with Micheal, including a visit from him to our studio, we came to realize what our responsibilities were as Directors and Officers to the Board as well as gained a clear vision as to how we should structure our programming and procedures. Micheal’s help was essential for us to continue developing into a true community service for the San Mateo Coastside.” – Bryan Richer, Executive Director Project Knew Groove
