Serving on a Nonprofit Board: Practical and Ethical Considerations for Attorneys

Sponsored by the Practising Law Institute

Joining a nonprofit board can be one of the most personally and professionally rewarding experiences of an attorney’s career. Whether you’re an experienced attorney or just beginning to practice, serving on a nonprofit board can bring opportunities to deepen your skills, make valuable connections, and help a cause that is personally meaningful to you.  

Serving on a Nonprofit Board: Practical and Ethical Considerations for Attorneys will provide practical tips and review important ethical considerations for attorneys currently serving on nonprofit boards or thinking about joining a nonprofit board. (This program is an expanded version of the one hour briefing offered in July 2016, Serving on a Nonprofit Board: Practical and Ethical Considerations for Attorneys.)
