In person attendance can register in advance or at the
door. Don't forget your bag lunch!
Attorneys are often sought out to be Directors and Officers
for nonprofit organizations because they bring special skills –
superior reasoning, advanced schooling, special expertise, attention to detail, and (of
course) the THOUGHT of free legal advice. But, attorneys serving on nonprofit Boards
can be fraught with ethical and practical pitfalls, and, like
Marvel Comics, “with great power comes great responsibility.”
Jenn Urban will address common questions and issues, like:
- Can serving on a Board of a nonprofit
corporation get you on the ethical hot seat?
-
Who is your Client?
- Conflicts of Interest
and Fiduciary Duties
- Confidentiality v.
Disclosure
- Excessive Compensation and
Self-Dealing Concerns
- When the Attorney Must
Resign
- Other Practical Considerations
This is a presentation of the Business Law Section’s Nonprofit
Corporations Committee brown bag lunch series. We will meet at the
MSBA offices at Noon.
Bring
your own lunch. Water and soft drinks will be provided.
