Nonprofit Law for Leaders Right Now

Do you have nagging, maybe intensive, worries about the risk your work and organization may be facing in the current climate?

Elizabeth Schmidt’s new book Rules of the Road for Nonprofit Leaders will help lead in this era of unpredictable change and risk.

A recently retired professor of practice at the School of Public Policy in the University of Massachusetts Amherst and at Vermont Law School, she 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.

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.
