Why You Should Attend
The business of running a nonprofit organization has become increasingly complex, as nonprofits are under heightened scrutiny to account for their management and fiduciary practices. Legislative and administrative changes on the federal and state level have created a series of new issues for certain types of nonprofits. In addition, the economic crisis of the recent past has increased the need for organizations and their boards to be aware of a wide variety of legal principles governing their conduct. Attorneys who advise nonprofits and their boards of directors or are contemplating board service themselves must be aware of both the legal norms governing their conduct and the public perceptions of charitable activities.

What You Will Learn
You will learn about fundamental concepts and new developments in the federal and state laws

PLEASE NOTE:
PLI is also offering a Live Webcast of the Program. This means that you can view this program from your office or even at home on your computer. We can also set up a Group Cast which would enable a number of attorneys from your office to view the program at once.

Full and partial scholarships to attend PLI's programs or view a webcast are available to legal aid and government attorneys, law professors, judges, judicial clerks, law students and employees of nonprofit organizations. Scholarship applications must be submitted at least four weeks prior to the program you wish to attend.
