Law seminar for nonprofits offered
The United Way of Washington County, the Washington County Bar Association, the Washington County Community Foundation and Washington & Jefferson College’s pre-law program have partnered to host the biennial Law School for Non-Profit Organizations on Oct. 16 at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington. The all-day program is designed for nonprofit agency staff members, volunteers, attorneys and others interested in building a strong nonprofit community.
Attendees may choose to attend all or part of the day, which includes a three-hour morning seminar for new and emerging nonprofit organizations that will address all of the “basics” from formation of a 501(c)(3), bylaws, state reporting and more; a luncheon program on insurance issues; and, specifically for more “established” nonprofits, afternoon sessions addressing employment law, legal risks concerning technology and social media, and laws governing gift acknowledgements, fundraising/solicitations and donor development.
The program is priced so that even the “smallest” of nonprofit organizations are able to afford to attend. The three-hour morning session is only $10, and the afternoon sessions are also only $10. Attendees can choose to bring their own lunch and attend the noon-time program for $5, or order lunch and attend the noon-time program for $15. The maximum cost for one person to attend the whole day (with lunch) is $35. Seven continuing legal education credits are available for attorneys for an additional fee.
Paid registrations are due by Oct. 8. For additional details, to register online or to download a registration form, visit www.wccf.net/events or contact WCCF at 724-222-6330.
