Overview

This session tracks what’s trending in the nonprofit sector to help keep you and the nonprofits you serve ‘in the know.’ Culling lessons learned from recent headlines and from the frontlines, this session covers an array of topics – from the tenor and focus of the current federal and state regulatory climate and legislative landscape, to the tempting shortcuts and (unfortunate) leadership habits that die hard. Learn how nonprofits can paint themselves into corners and how by looking ahead and learning from what’s trending, they can stay reflective and grounded and more adeptly navigate legal risks and business challenges.

Recorded in May 2026.
