Event Description
Boards operate more efficiently and ensure compliance with the law by enacting policies that provide rules and procedures to address issues that reoccur over time. Because board membership tends to change frequently, policies also provide structure in the face of personnel flux and reduce the necessity of "reinventing the wheel".
Unfortunately, most boards tend to adopt policies piecemeal and to devote little time to thinking "big picture" about their policies. Executive directors have an important role to play in taking a longer view about policies.
Bring a copy of your board's policies to this interactive session where you will learn:
- What policies are vital to your organization
- Why and how to ensure your policies are accessible
- When you might want to consider a "legal audit"
Join Cynthia Cumfer, J.D., co-author of The Oregon Nonprofit Corporation Handbook, for a fun and lively examination of board policies. Cindy is an attorney for Community Development Law Center, a nonprofit that represents nonprofits that work with low income people. Cindy also has a private practice that focuses solely on nonprofit organizations. Cindy has over 30 years of experience representing nonprofits.
