Description:
This year’s annual institute focuses on some of the important legal
issues confronting the nonprofit and philanthropic world in these unique
and difficult times. It will include a keynote address by the general
counsel of the path-breaking Ford Foundation, a panel presentation on
various perspectives in implementing an effective and legally compliant
DEI program, and a discussion of the legal framework and practical
considerations in conducting membership and board meetings, programs and
other nonprofit offerings remotely. It will also include a panel
discussion on the legal, practical, and regulatory issues relating to
nonprofit strategic alliances, as nonprofits consider more efficient and
cost-effective ways to work together or restructure in the changing and
challenging landscape facing nonprofits.
Who Should Attend: This half-day program is intended to
serve both in-house and outside counsel with a well-developed
background in nonprofit law, but it will also be a useful and
informative session for nonprofit managers as well as lawyers who are
newer to the field and seek to enhance their practice in the nonprofit
sector or their participation on nonprofit boards.
