To the Point

I'm a board member of a nonprofit sports club for kids. We're redoing our bylaws. We came across an entry that stated executive board members, Active members, Reserve Members shall pay an annual fee of $5. No one has done this in the last 10 years of the organization. Can we remove it or is there a reason that it's there?

Lessons from Litigation

• Legislators have no standing to intervene in charity’s accounting
• ‘Peace Officer’ not entitled to director or officer protections

Tax Matters

• Grassley, Baucus target supporting organizations for reform
• What’s a board to do?

Employment Law

• Employer may fire employee who fails stringent drug test

Say That Again?
