Host Gina Logue’s interview with Dr. Murat Arik, associate director of MTSU’s Business and Economic Research Center, aired earlier this month on WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org ). You can listen to their conversation here.
Arik’s study was prepared for the Nashville-based Center for Nonprofit Management, which states at www.cnm.org that its mission is “to create and sustain nonprofit excellence.”
The study reports that the nonprofit sector lures in $2.7 billion from outside the Nashville Metropolitan Statistical Area.
When stacked up against nonprofit sectors in metropolitan areas of comparable size, “Nashville is third among 10 MSAs … and that, in fact is a very good ranking. … Raleigh, N.C., and Indianapolis, Ind., are at the top.”
