Beyond the Crisis - Accountability & Integrity - Legal

Wednesday, June 10, 2020

10:00am - 11am - Webinar (BigBlueButton Web Conferencing)

Free Session - RSVP Required

About this session:  As nonprofits continue to struggle with the COVID pandemic and its secondary effects on the economy, nonprofits need to understand their legal obligations to both clients and employees. As various states ease their lock down measures, nonprofits need to ensure that have their own set of policies and procedures for employees returning to work and meeting the needs of their clients. Due to a precipitous drop in giving, many nonprofits have to not only downsize but also have difficult conversations about how to keep their doors open or close for good.
