Starting a nonprofit requires the navigation of a complex legal process, leaving many new groups without the knowledge and resources needed to make practical legal decisions for their organizations.

This session will help you understand the various legal concerns new nonprofits face from inception throughout the life of the organization and provide you with tools to make informed decisions as well as strategize next steps.
