  • In the modern digital era, the use of the Internet, emails, and social media create a host of opportunities and potential risks for everyone, including nonprofit organizations.  Modern methods of communication facilitate messaging, branding, fundraising, grantmaking, and generally promoting a nonprofit’s mission.  At the same time, issues such as cybersecurity, hacking, accessing of inappropriate sites, and assertions of jurisdiction by far-flung regulators raise a maze of security, compliance, employment, and other issues to be confronted.  In this full-day program devoted to trends in nonprofit law, a number of the topics will address, in whole or in part, these various issues and concerns.
