Nonprofit Issues® and the Philadelphia law firm of Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhoads will present the 18th annual “This Year In Nonprofit Law” on Thursday, November 20, 2008.
Our panel of lawyers who deal with nonprofit legal issues every day will review the most important legal developments for nonprofits during the last year.
In the second session, Samuel Caldwell, President of the Planned Giving Company, Eileen Heisman, President of the National Philanthropic Trust, and Andrew Swinney, President of The Philadelphia Foundation, will share their insights on “Meeting the Needs of Major Donors.”
The first round of afternoon break-out sessions will include review of the new Form 990 tax information return from the point of view of a donor and a regulator, some advanced issues in charitable giving and an employment law session covering religion in the workplace and electronic document policies.
The second round will cover the upcoming deadlines for employee benefit filings, the top 10 errors of nonprofit governance suggested by the Standards for Excellence program of PANO, and a discussion of ethical issues for nonprofit lawyers.
The program provides 5 hours of continuing education credit for Pennsylvania lawyers, including an hour of ethics credit for those attending the ethics session, and 5 hours of CPE for Pennsylvania accountants.

The program starts at 9 a.m. and runs to 3:45. The registration fee is $145 for the first participant from an organization and $85 for each additional registrant.
