PS&H attorney, Elizabeth O. Manchester presents Best Practices For Board Governance: Cautionary Tales For Nonprofits during the Rhode Island Bar Association 2019 Annual Meeting.
There have been several national stories that have resulted in formerly highly respected nonprofits being accused of abuse in the wake of the #MeToo movement and other misconduct, causing executives to leave organizations and funders to think twice about supporting these organizations. Whether you are serving on a board, advising clients who are board members or funders or represent charities, it is critical to understand the basics of board governance to protect yourself and your clients from legal and reputational risks. The panelists cover some of these cautionary tales and provide insight into minimizing risk.
Joining Liz for the presentation are Katherine Kishfy, Esq, Hinckley Allen and Rebecca E. Dupras, Esq., Orson & Brusini, Ltd..
