SUMMARY:PASE's 2014 College Forum and Fair
DESCRIPTION:PASE invites university and college admissions staff to meet New York area community-based organizations\, which have college prep programs\, at their 2014 College Forum and Fair. PASE accomplishes its mission by building the capacity of individual afterschool staff\, youth-serving organizations\, and the field as a whole\, all with the goal of increasing the availability of quality services to youth in out of school time. \n\nFor the youth served by PASE\, knowledge of college often comes from the staff of community-based organizations\, who can be a critical ally in your institution’s efforts to identify and recruit talented low-income\, traditionally underrepresented minorities\, and/or first generation students.\n \n\nAfterschool professionals often provide vital college prep services\, relieving the workload of over-burdened guidance counselors\, and serve as a liaison to parents\, many of whom are unfamiliar with the college preparation and application process. Educating this staff about your institution’s offerings allows you to better advocate for the appropriate students to apply to your school.\n \n\nAs a participant in the fair\, you will be assigned a table to showcase your college\, distribute materials\, and hold discussions with attendees. The event will also include panel presentations from higher education institution representatives and community-based organization representatives on key aspects of the admissions\, matriculation\, and college persistence\, followed by the fair.\n \n\nTo RSVP\, please click here to complete a short registration form.\n \n\nJune 9\, 2014 at 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM \n\nBarnard College3009 Broadway\, James Room (4th Floor)New York\, NY 10027

SUMMARY:Legal\, Compliance and PR Strategies Around Campus Sexual Assault Issues Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The problem of sexual assault on college campuses recently has been drawing more intense scrutiny from government officials\, survivors’ advocates\, student organizations\, and the media.  Regardless of whether your university has been caught up in this yet\, one thing is for certain: the issue isn’t going away any time soon.\n \n\nAs colleges and universities plan for the 2014-2015 academic year\, it is imperative that their policies are fully compliant with federal\, state and local laws\, and that they be appropriately disseminated among key campus stakeholders.  Simply put\, a policy is only as strong as its execution.\n \n\nWe invite you to take part in an important webinar that reviews the legal and communications challenges around crafting and socializing the most effective policies regarding sexual assault incidents on campus.  This presentation will draw on the combined experience of Montgomery McCracken\, a leader in higher education law\, and MWW\, a global public relations firm with deep experience in crisis communications and planning. Our two organizations take the unique view that compliance and communications are two sides of the same coin.\n \n\nTopics will include:\n \n\nAuditing your policies for federal\, state and local compliance\nUnderstanding the limits of public disclosure\nUntangling overlapping laws and guidelines\nCreating and socializing a crisis communications plan\nDeveloping complementary strategies for stakeholder engagement\n\n\nDATES AND TIMES:\n \n\nTuesday\, May 27\, 2:00 p.m. EST\nMonday\, June 2\, 2:00 p.m. EST\n\n\nA recording of the webinar is available here and you may also view the materials.\n \n\nMay 27\, 2014 at 2:00 PM – June 2\, 2014 at 3:00 PM \n\n;Download Event Attachment

SUMMARY:The Connecticut Maritime Association Presents Shipping 2014
DESCRIPTION:The United States is fast becoming the world’s leading producer of energy. Faced with punishing bunker prices and inadequate freight rates\, vessel speed is the key delta for capacity growth. Environmental regulations are rapidly changing ship design and operation. Technological solutions are dizzying in number and selection. Successful tapping of capital markets rewards an omnivore’s tastes and a sprinters aptitude. A swiftly spreading rumor could spike Interest rates while the political climate in the Middle East changes faster than Vermont Spring weather. ECA zone deadlines shift distillates from a cargo to a fuel overnight. Transfer of data and information between ships and markets is instantaneous. Freight volatility snaps heads like a whiplash. ECO ship designs multiply like “juiced ” cells. Social media has altered a 24/7 industry into a perpetual 1440 minute dash. A twenty five year ship is considered old at fifteen\, yet can move faster than the younger new deliveries. Ton-miles are shorter today…or are they?\n \n\nWhether we like it or not the pace of change in the shipping industry has never been greater. In a world of shifting trade\, global economic health\, oil production and consumption and new technology\, decision making is pressurized. Stakes are rising.\n \nPartner Fred J. Kuffler will present “Port of Refuge: A Continuing Problem for the Industry” in this multi-dimensional conference. \n\nMarch 17\, 2014 at 2:00 PM – March 19\, 2014 at 5:00 PM \n\nwww.shipping2014.com\nDownload Event Attachment \nHilton Stamford HotelStamford\, Connecticut

SUMMARY:Nonprofit Mergers\, Acquisitions and Affiliations
DESCRIPTION:With pressure mounting on nonprofits to consider affiliations with other organizations\, this webinar is designed to help you better navigate the world of mergers\, acquisitions and affiliations.  Unlike the corporate world\, there are no financial “matchmakers” to help nonprofits identify successful partners for a merger.\n \n\nThis program will discuss the differences between mergers\, acquisitions\, affiliations\, strategic alliances\, and takeovers. It will discuss various alternative legal structures and the kind of “due diligence” investigation appropriate in considering any new relationship. It will discuss the types of procedures necessary to accomplish the goals\, including the possible requirement for approval from the Attorney General.\n \n\nThrough a series of hypothetical examples\, we will put these considerations in context for discussion in real life situations so that participants considering any new alliance can weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives.\n \n\nPresented by Montgomery McCracken attorneys Donald Kramer\, editor of Nonprofit Issues® in partnership with the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations and Virginia P. Sikes\, tax editor of Nonprofit Issues®\, will also participate in the discussion.\n \n\nParticipants will receive a package of materials from Nonprofit Issues® and will have the opportunity to ask questions during the presentation. Any number of persons may participate at the same location for the same low price. Similar webinars are offered at more than twice the cost.

SUMMARY:Defending the White Collar Case
DESCRIPTION:Partner Ellen Brotman is serving as course planner and chairman Richard Scheff is participating as faculty for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute’s “Defending the White Collar Case.”\n \n\nThe F.B.I. defines white collar crime as “a full range of frauds committed by business and government professionals.” These offenses can range from minor benefits fraud to sophisticated Ponzi schemes\, and include the non-filing taxpayer as well as the complicated tax shelter promotion. While each case requires subject matter expertise\, the successful defense of white collar cases hinges on a combination of skill\, creativity and judgment. These offenses present special challenges: the issues are complex\, the documents are confusing and often voluminous and the press coverage may be helping the prosecutor persuade your jurors before you even get a chance to meet them. The lawyers who regularly handle such cases understand that they involve corporate and individual defendants who are targeted as much for who they are as for what they did and their lives\, careers and corporate existence are on the line.\n \n\nThis program will examine the substantive and procedural nuances of white collar defense. Topics will explore the white collar case from investigation through appeal; each panel will offer legal updates as well as provide nuts and bolts advice and techniques for each stage of the case.\n \n\nFebruary 18\, 2014 at 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM \n\nCLE Credits : 7.5\nDownload Event Attachment \nThe CLE Conference Center\, Wanamaker BuildingPhiladelphia
