Role of the Board in Corporate Governance

The public expectations of accountability of nonprofit organizations are greater than it has ever been, and nonprofit organizations must pay attention to their corporate governance procedures and structure to be effective. This workshop addresses the role of the Board of Directors in ensuring that a not-for-profit corporation's corporate governance is not only legally adequate, but also consistent with best practices. Specific topics will include fiduciary duties and obligations of directors under federal and state laws; measures that executive managers of nonprofits and their Boards can implement to ensure adequate corporate accountability, including compliance with the Better Business Bureau standards for charitable accountability; procedural aspects of running a Board of Directors; and the penalties that can be imposed by the IRS on nonprofit organizations and their managers for engaging in "excess benefit transactions." For nonprofit board members and executive directors.
