Keeping a Nonprofit Scandal Free: Lessons of Feeding Our Future

Nonprofits love press coverage – until it’s for the wrong reasons. What can lawyers serving the occasional nonprofit (or serving on the board) learn from the recent Feeding Our Future scandal that rocked the nonprofit sector? Is even MORE oversight and compliance for nonprofits the best way to protect community charitable funds? What role does a board or key staff have in protecting nonprofits from bad actors? Who holds responsibility anyway? Attorney for nonprofits, Jess Birken presents several lessons organizations of all sizes can take away from this national news sensation and FBI investigation.

Top 3 Takeaways of this Session:

• What can we learn about a nonprofit (including your nonprofit) from public records and why does it matter?
• Scandals incite calls for more regulation – but that’s not the answer.
• Implement strong systems and processes now and thank yourself later. Your nonprofit is only as good as its infrastructure and the systems you have in place to keep it healthy.
