Nonprofit Law for Leaders Right Now

Worried about the risk your work and organization may be facing in the current context?

Elizabeth Schmidt’s new book Rules of the Road for Nonprofit Leaders will help you lead more confidently, even under pressure. She’s giving real, she's giving thoughtful, she's giving grounded.

A recently retired professor of practice at the School of Public Policy in the University of Massachusetts Amherst and at Vermont Law School, Prof. Schmidt coauthored the casebook Nonprofit Law: The Life Cycle of a Charitable Organization and has written academic and industry articles on nonprofit governance, accountability, policies, and ethics. She was legal counsel for GuideStar (now Candid) during its founding and growth and she has served as program staff and as a management consultant to nonprofits. She knows nonprofit law and understands nonprofit management and leadership. And she was a ChangeMatters client when she led the social entrepreneurship program at George Mason University.

Other lawyers in this time may be alarmist or more dangerously risk averse (ahem, we are looking at you, counsel to private foundations and big organizations). Betsy however, is giving real, she's giving thoughtful, she's giving grounded. Her new book is one solid resource in unsteady times.
