Learn what is expected of a nonprofit board and staff (legally and ethically). Get tips and tools to practice and apply the concepts.  All nonprofits must abide by the legal duties of care, obedience and loyalty.  Nonprofit boards have the ultimate responsibility and accountability for the organizations they lead.  Participants will understand the benefits of being a nonprofit, how to protect those benefits and what is expected in return for those benefits.  Class will also address current trends and challenges for organizations and how to decrease opportunities for litigation.

Session Goals - This workshop will provide participants with the following:

  • The three legal responsibilities of a nonprofit board
  • Key tasks the board should undertake
  • Nonprofit basics
