Attorneys Roy Schneider and Julie Saltoun will be presenting a seminar entitled “What Nonprofit Directors Need to Know: Legal
Responsibilities & Best Practices” for The
Ventura Chamber in their Chamber Workshop
Series on Thursday, July 19 from 8am-10:00am, at Ventura City Hall – Community
Room, 501 Poli Street, 2nd Floor, Ventura, CA 93001.
Mr. Schneider & Ms. Saltoun will address the
duties, policies and essential traits of nonprofit organizations and board
members, including the fiduciary duties of board members, established and new
corporate governance laws, election do’s and don’ts, how to avoid an IRS audit,
understanding the concept of “development”, the board’s role in successful
fundraising, retention of independent contractors and other employment
concerns.
The goal of the workshop is to
educate nonprofit organizations regarding the tools necessary for good
corporate governance, so they do not become overburdened with compliance issues
and can instead focus on the missions of their organizations.
“Our firm has received increasing
requests for services from nonprofits” Saltoun said. “More people are starting nonprofits, and
we’ve been getting questions about IRS corporate governance regulations, as
well as questions about shutting down and merging due to economic woes,
executive terminations and use of donations,” she added.
Admission is free for Ventura Chamber members
and $10 for non-members; however; guests of ours will receive free admission. If you would like to attend, please RSVP by contacting Samantha E. Balchum at (805) 644-7188 or by email at sbalchum@mwgjs.com. Breakfast and
handouts will be provided.
