Nonprofit Legal Essentials – October 2026

In this interactive session, Elizabeth M. Schmidt, author of Rules of the Road for Nonprofit Leaders: Using the Law to Achieve Your Mission, will demystify the legal landscape of 501(c)(3) operations and help your organization build a culture of compliance from the board level down.

This session is designed specifically for nonprofit leaders and board members who want to understand:

  • The fundamentals of 501(c)(3) status – what it means, what it requires, and why it matters
  • Board fiduciary duties and governance best practices – how to protect your organization and fulfill your legal responsibilities
  • Compliance essentials – key regulatory requirements, documentation standards, and common pitfalls to avoid
  • Legal considerations for nonprofit work – including advocacy, fundraising, partnerships, and public accountability

Whether you're a new board member, an executive director, or simply want to strengthen your organization's legal footing, this session will provide clarity, practical guidance, and the opportunity to ask Elizabeth your specific questions about nonprofit law and compliance.
