Description

This workshop will review the key roles and responsibilities of CDC board members, with a focus on understanding fiduciary duties and avoiding conflicts of interest. Using real world scenarios, we will explore situations that can be confusing or difficult to interpret. Participants will also have the chance to share their own examples and questions to deepen the discussion.

Because these guidelines can be challenging and sometimes unclear, this session offers a valuable opportunity to learn how to interpret them and make informed decisions. Board members will leave with stronger tools to prevent costly legal mistakes and support responsible governance.

Facilitated by Attorney Elizabeth Reinhardt, an expert in non-profit governance and regulatory compliance.



This session is free and open to all CDC Board Members from MACDC member organizations.
