SUMMARY:What it Means to Form and Operate a Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:Registration: Click here. Please register by September 21. \nMission-driven founders of charitable organizations are visionaries. They see unmet needs and are driven to fill them. But decisions must be made on how to best capture the founder’s vision in an effective legal structure. There are several options to consider\, all with advantages and disadvantages\, and all with legal issues to consider: \nFor example\, should the group: \n\nBecome a tax exempt nonprofit?\nWork through a “fiscal agent”?\nMerge with an existing nonprofit?\nBecome an unincorporated association and trust?\n\nAdditionally\, existing nonprofits are often asked to become a fiscal agent or take over a newly formed charitable group. \n\nWhat legal ramifications should be considered before accepting this role?\n\nCome learn about various options that are available to engage in charitable activities while remaining in compliance with pertinent laws and regulations. \nPresenter: Elizabeth Reinhardt\, Law Offices of Elizabeth S. Reinhardt. \nThis workshop is offered in partnership with Foundation for MetroWest.

SUMMARY:Massachusetts Pay Equity Law: Is Your Nonprofit Ready?
DESCRIPTION:Registration: Click here. Please register by April 30. \nPresenters: Hillary Massey and Christina Duszlak\, Seyfarth Shaw LLP  \nIn 2017\, Governor Baker signed a bipartisan pay equity bill\, passed unanimously by both legislative branches\, to ensure equal pay for comparable work for all Massachusetts workers and equal opportunities to earn competitive salaries in the workplace. The new law\, going into effect on July 1\, 2018\, will prevent pay discrimination for comparable work based on gender. It also allows employees to freely discuss their salaries with coworkers and prohibits employers from requiring applicants to provide their salary history before receiving a formal job offer. \nCome and learn more about this new law and what your nonprofit as an employer can do and can no longer do. The law will affect your existing pay scheme\, employee handbook\, hiring process manual and related policies. Employment law experts Hilary Massey and Christina Duszlak of Seyfarth Shaw will lead this 90-minute seminar.
