Many attorneys serve on nonprofit boards without fully understanding the potential complexities of the organization’s governance. The interplay of state law, articles of incorporation, bylaws, and the federal income tax code can present challenges to attorneys who do not practice in this area on a regular basis. The coronavirus has caused organizations to look at new ways of holding board meetings and taking action without meetings, often without regard to what is allowed by the organization’s own governance documents or state law. This introductory course is intended to prepare you to be better able to advise your nonprofit clients, whether you are forming a new nonprofit organization or advising one that has been around for more than a century.

A code will be given at the end of the seminar, which must be written on your MCLE form.
