Across the nonprofit sector, organizations are faced with the question of how to continue their missions in light of seemingly rapid changes to the legal environment. This session will help nonprofit leaders cut through the noise, deepen their understanding of today’s legal environment, and strengthen their ability to lead with courage and clarity.

Attendees will gain insights on:
• Maximizing mission-driven activity while staying compliant
• Recognizing which policies have changed—and which remain the same
• Planning ahead to remain resilient during turbulent times
