Overview
Nonprofit organizations are front and center in today’s public policy debates and are major players in shaping today’s legal landscape. This plenary session covers how current developments are impacting nonprofits, raising essential questions, and making it especially difficult for nonprofits to stay focused on timeless principles and legal essentials, which are now more critical than ever.
Since January 2025, nonprofits have faced unprecedented challenges and are turning to lawyers they know (on their boards or otherwise) to help them navigate new legal terrain, stay in compliance, assess and mitigate risk, and make sense of rapidly evolving narratives. This plenary session imparts additional key takeaways for this moment plus big-picture, pragmatic frameworks for assessing and mitigating risk in the current legal landscape.
Recorded in May 2026.
