Join us to examine common challenges that arise at the board and member levels of not-for-profits and charities, and gather strategies for managing difficult behaviours while maintaining compliance with legal and fiduciary duties. Through scenario-based discussions, you will learn about:

  • Distinct legal roles, rights and responsibilities of directors versus members, and how these differences can create friction when conflicts arise
  • “Red flag” scenarios frequently encountered by directors, such as conflicts of interest
  • Risk mitigation approaches to help prevent disputes from escalating into litigation.


Register now and be better prepared to prevent governance problems, foster productive board relationships, and safeguard your clients’ compliance and reputation.
