Please join us on this special evening of the Charity and Not-for-Profit Law Section when we present the AMS John Hodgson Award to Jane Burke-Robertson, partner at Carters Professional Corporation.

Jane has practised extensively in charity and not-for-profit law. She is also highly experienced in dealing with membership disputes, board and membership control issues and structural considerations in national and international charitable and not-for-profit organizations.

Ms Burke-Robertson is a frequent speaker and lecturer on charitable and not-for-profit matters and has written extensively in this subject area. She is also past-president of the National CBA Charities and Not-for-Profit Law Section, and one of the founding co-chairs of the OBA Charity and Not-for-Profit Law Section.
