SUMMARY:WVNPA Webinar: Grantwriting and the 80/20 Rule

SUMMARY:GuideStar Webinar: Ask the Nonprofit Lawyer: Everything You Wanted to Know about Nonprofit Copyrights and Trademarks
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nRegister Now \n\nToday’s digital world requires proactive measures to enforce and manage valuable content — as well as to avoid infringing others’ rights. Many nonprofit executives don’t fully appreciate the often counter-intuitive intricacies and nuances of intellectual property law\, as well as the pitfalls that abound for failing to proactively address them. On the trademark side\, from clearing to registering marks\, to managing\, licensing and enforcing them — both domestically and internationally – there’s an abundance of knowledge and know-how to digest. On the copyright side\, new technologies bring about new challenges with protecting rights in and avoiding liability from misusing others’ copyrightable works (or failing to sufficiently protect your own rights). Moreover\, the role of volunteers in the nonprofit setting poses its own set of intellectual property challenges. \nIn this Q&A-driven webinar\, you’ll have the opportunity to submit your own questions to one of the nation’s leading nonprofit attorneys from the Venable law firm as he walks you through the essentials\, highlights common traps and pitfalls\, discusses best practices in the nonprofit community\, and most importantly\, gives you the thoughtful\, practical\, real-life guidance and tips that you need to know in order to protect your nonprofit in the U.S. and overseas\, as well as optimize and capitalize on your nonprofit’s intellectual property. \nPresenters\nJeffrey S.

SUMMARY:NPQ Webinar: Executive Transitions
DESCRIPTION:BoardSource\, NPQ\, and Raffa\, P.C. Are Proud to Present . . .\nA Complimentary\, 4-Part Webinar Series on \nExecutive Transitions: Critical Guidance for Boards and Executives (Whether a Transition Is Imminent or Not)\nRecent research indicates that nonprofit CEOs are aging in place—that is\, that approximately 40 percent have been in their jobs for over ten years\, and a majority are over 50 years old. This translates to a significant potential for turnover\, whether planned or unplanned. With that turnover of longstanding execs or even founders come opportunities but also real and serious risks . . . to reputation\, organizational relationships\, and—generally—the sustainability of your organization. \nHow do you find the right match and set the right table so that you can attract and keep the leader your organization needs for its best possible future? \nExecutives should be able to move out of leadership with the strategic and management capacities of the organization robust and vibrant and broadly held. Succession planning and executive transition\, done well\, deliver this. \nThis series of webinars involves some of NPQ’s most expert authors on the issue\, addresses the components of good succession planning and transitions\, from deepening the leadership “bench” to creating exit agreements. \nWebinar #1  The End Game: An Organizational Sustainability Framework for Executive Transitions \nMarch 31\, 1:30–2:30 pm EST \nPresenters: Ruth McCambridge\, Editor in Chief Nonprofit Quarterly and Tom Adams\, Director of Sustainability\, Succession and Transition Planning\, Raffa P.C. \nThis session will define some terms associated with succession planning and executive transition\, and will take a quick look at the variables involved in various scenarios. Additionally\, we will discuss what part succession planning plays in nonprofit sustainability. What are the factors that need to be attended to for the organization not to lose ground during a transition\, and how should these generally be approached? What are appropriate and inappropriate end goals for an executive transition? Among the topics that will be addressed are the role organizational culture plays in transitions and the importance of using the moment to examine your enterprise model\, strategic directions\, and the leadership competencies needed for success. \nYou will be able to sign up for the entire exclusive four-part webinar series: \n\nWebinar #2  CEO Confidential: Making\, Communicating\, and Implementing Your Organizational Exit  (April 28\, 2:30–3:30 pm EST)\nWebinar #3  The Common (and Sometimes Pernicious) Traps in Executive Transitions (May 19\, 1:30–2:30 pm EST)\nWebinar #4  Preparing for the Inevitable: The Board’s Role in Succession Planning (June 16\, 1:30–2:30 pm EST)\n\nMake sure to sign up today\, and NPQ will send instructions on how to join the session!
