SUMMARY:State Charitable Solicitation Statutes: Everything You Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery McCracken partners Don Kramer and Karl Emerson will present the “State Charitable Solicitation Statutes: Everything You Wanted to Know But Were Afraid to Ask” webinar.\n \n\nCharities that seek contributions nationally must typically register in 39 states and the District of Columbia before starting to solicit. Furthermore\, for-profit fundraisers are also required to register and file their contracts and other documentation with many states. Since many states are increasing their enforcement efforts to ensure that charities and fundraisers are complying with initial and annual registration requirements\, it’s important that charities and fundraisers abide by these statutes-especially since noncompliance can result in the imposition of significant fines and penalties.\n \n\nClick here to register for the webinar.\n \n\nOctober 17\, 2013 at 1:30 PM – 3:00 AM

SUMMARY:Lobbying and Electioneering for Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery McCracken partner Don Kramer will serve as a speaker for the Lobbying and Electioneering for Nonprofits webinar. \n \n\nEvery year is election year. And every session of the Congress\, state legislature\, or local government offers the possibility of public policy change that can significantly affect the work of nonprofit organizations. \n \n\nTherefore\, nonprofits are concerned about what they may and may not do to influence elections and public policy.

What counts as “lobbying” under the federal regulations? Do they have to worry about lobbying registration requirements?\n \n\nJoe Geiger\, former Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations and now President/CEO of the First Nonprofit Foundation\, will discuss proven methods of developing relationships with legislators so that they see you as a legitimate resource to help them understand issues.\n \n\nIf your organization\, your clients\, or your issues are affected by public policy\, you will want to participate in this webinar.\n \n\nWe will provide background materials to elaborate on the discussion.

SUMMARY:Safeguarding Your Nonprofit Organization—What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:About the Seminar \n\nIn today’s regulatory environment\, nonprofit organizations and their board members and face a variety of risks. The seminar will discuss these  pitfalls and  strategies for how to get keep nonprofit organizations and their  board membership safe from legal\, financial  and reputational harm. Panelists will discuss techniques for recruiting top quality board members\, occupational fraud and abuse and insurance and risk management considerations for nonprofits\n \nWho Should Attend? \n\nAudit Committee Members \nInternal Auditors \nGovernment Investigators \nIn-house Counsel \nCorporate Board Members \nChief Executive Officers \nIn-house Accounts \nChief Financial Officers \n\nAgenda\n\n2:00-2:30 pm – Registration\n \n\n2:30-3:30 pm – “Recruiting & Being Recruited for a Top Quality Board”\n \n\n“You only have to attend a couple of meetings a year.” If you ever hear that phrase in a discussion about joining the Board of Directors of a charitable organization\, you know the Board isn’t very serious. Board service is a serious commitment. It can be exhilarating\, rewarding and a lot of fun. Or it can be a drag and an imposition. Learn how to attract top quality people to a charity board and what those top quality prospects should consider in deciding whether to accept. “Due diligence” applies on both sides of the recruitment process. Some of the issues and the key questions to ask will be discussed by lawyers who work with nonprofit organizations and serve on numerous nonprofit boards.\n \n\nPanelists: Donald W. Kramer\, Virginia P. Sikes\n \n\n3:30-4:45 pm – “The Risks of Occupational Fraud and Abuse”\n \n\nNonprofits are vulnerable to embezzlement by their very nature. They are motivated by their mission and not necessarily by making a profit; thus\, leading to limited resources allocated to accounting\, internal controls and financial oversight. This session will focus on red flags\, employee behavior patterns and fraud prevention measures.\n \n\nPanelists: Leon A. LaRosa\, Jr.\, David A. Gruber\n \n\n4:45-5:30 pm – “Insurance and Risk Management: What You May Be Missing”\n \n\nSo you think your insurance binders tucked away on your shelf have got your “back”? Don’t be so sure\, there is a reason those policies are so thick. Insurance in itself is there to protect you but do not be mistaken\, insurance carriers are not your friends. This session will focus on some of the typical “gaps” and issues you need to look for in your insurance contracts and what can be done to insure\, mitigate or eliminate these exposures.\n \n\nPanelist: J.
