Webinars for Wise Nonprofits: The Role of the Nonprofit Board of Directors: Legal Responsibilities and Best Practices for Proficient Governance

 An engaged and skillful Board of Directors is key to fostering a resilient and enduring nonprofit organization. Directors often agree to serve on nonprofit Boards because they support the mission and work of an organization, but service on a Board brings with it significant responsibilities. This webinar will address the role of nonprofit Board members and how Board members can provide proper oversight in compliance with the New York Not-For-Profit Corporation Law, thereby contributing to the longevity of the organizations they serve.

Learning Objectives: Participants will be able to identify the responsibilities of Board members based upon the organization's governing documents and proactively support good corporate governance.

For members of nonprofit Boards.

Presenters: Rafi Stern, Staff Attorney and Elizabeth Wytock, Staff Attorney
