Agenda:
Please join us on Thursday, February 18, 2010 for this complimentary presentation and interactive discussion developed specifically for board members and executives of nonprofit organizations. While the impact of the current economic downturn on the business community is well documented, the resulting challenges faced by nonprofit organizations in many ways have been even greater. The combination of reduced funding and increased demand for services has increased the pressure on nonprofits to fulfill their missions.
In our third annual seminar for board members of nonprofit organizations, we will address critical issues facing the nonprofit community, including:
•Fundraising in a tight economy
•Building and expanding awareness of your organization
•Social entrepreneurship and legal traps for nonprofits operating for-profit business enterprises
•Financial issues and fiduciary responsibilities
Our featured speaker, Deputy Attorney General Janet M. Kleinfelter,
will discuss current hot topics for nonprofits. Ms. Kleinfelter leads the Tennessee Attorney General’s Public Interest Division, formed in 2009, which oversees the operation of nonprofit entities on behalf of Tennesseans, including charitable oversight and charitable solicitations.
