- This year, the Institute will reflect on how nonprofits can best navigate those tricky relationships that ultimately drive their success. Speakers will focus on a range of internal and external relationships, looking at how each can offer up potential pitfalls and opportunities for nonprofits to achieve their missions. Specifically, panel discussions will explore:
• Relationships with employees, including how to respond to calls for unionization, speech issues in the workplace (especially in an election year), and the role of AI in employment decisions, among other hot topics
• Relationships with donors, in connection with fundraising campaigns and platforms
• Relationships with for-profit entities, exploring how nonprofits can collaborate with for-profit entities in their joint fundraising and programming efforts
• General counsel relationships, featuring GCs from small to mid-size nonprofits or overseeing smaller legal departments, discussing how they manage relationships with their boards, leadership, and staffWe’ll also feature a timely ethics discussion for ethics credit, as well as panels focusing on the current priorities of the Internal Revenue Service and the Charities Bureau of the New York State Attorney General’s Office.
