Virtual Workshop – Live/Online
Fee: $50 for MCN members / $70 for nonmembers
This session is also one part of the four-part Board Member’s Guide to Good Governance series.
Board members have legal and human resources responsibilities. What are those responsibilities and how can a board member protect the organization, and themselves, from legal pitfalls? In this session we will discuss liability, ethics, board relationship with staff, and other topics related to your duty of care and governance.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the legal framework that governs nonprofit status, including the key federal and state laws that shape board responsibility and oversight.
- Identify common sources of liability, ethical risk, and legal pitfalls that can affect both the organization and individual board members.
- Describe the board’s role in human resources oversight, including boundaries between governance and staff management.
