A ten-month series of workshops on the Mendocino coast designed to empower nonprofit teams with the fundamental skills for success and inspire a vibrant network of change makers.

Do you clearly understand the laws and regulations governing your role as a nonprofit executive? Leaders in the nonprofit sector show up because they want to make a difference in the world and do their best to maximize the organization's mission. But the law has very clear expectations and requirements for you to follow. Many nonprofit leaders are unaware of these requirements, leaving the organization and the individuals in those roles vulnerable to lawsuits. This seminar will provide a thorough understanding of the legal significance of your governing documents, including demystifying bylaws, board minutes, and governmental agency filings, and will explain the often-misapplied authority of directors, officers, committees, and executives. Whether you are a current or aspiring leader, this workshop will ensure you are informed and prepared! <aside>Daryl Reese is a business law and nonprofit attorney serving clients throughout the State of California.
