SUMMARY:ONLINE: Preserving Ideas\, Protecting Impact: Intellectual Property and Nonprofit Law
DESCRIPTION:Event Details\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, March 4\, 2025\n11:00AM – 12:00PM PT\nOnline via Zoom – This webinar will be recorded \n\n\n\n\nGenerally\, intellectual property is one of the most common assets that nonprofits have. Unfortunately\, it is often a forgotten asset. Imagine you are a nonprofit corporation utilizing volunteers for creative projects\, or you have an opportunity to have your name prominently featured on goods\, or you developed an invention and want to make sure it goes to market at cost. Understanding the ownership dynamics and permissible uses of intellectual property is key to navigating legal landscapes. \nThis workshop will begin with a basic primer on copyrights\, trademarks\, and other intellectual property that nonprofits routinely interact with. It will include a discussion of how nonprofit law handles intellectual property and identify ways that nonprofits can utilize their intellectual property to their advantage and avoiding common pitfalls. \nImportant Note: This information is provided for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal or technical advice. Further\, because of the educational nature of the information\, the workshop does not form any type of attorney client relationship. If you are unsure about anything covered in this presentation\, we suggest that you contact the appropriate agency or seek professional advice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n\nFree for NAWA Members – Find the coupon code on the Member Resources page. \n$20 for Not-yet-Members. Interested in becoming a NAWA Member? Learn more about membership here. \n\n\n\n\nFind NAWA’s cancellation and refund policies here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is designed for nonprofit board members or staff interested in intellectual and nonprofit law basics. It is appropriate for organizations with or without staff. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\n\nRegistrants will receive the webinar recording by email after the event. If there are breakout rooms\, they will not be included in the recording. If you can’t attend the training but you are interested in learning about this topic\, please register so we can send you the recording and materials. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility\n\n\n\n\nCaptioning: We will have automated captioning enabled. \nInterpretation: Please indicate during registration if you have an interpretation request. Typically\, we need at least two weeks in order to schedule an interpreter. \nVisual Descriptions: Presenters will include visual descriptions of themselves and the slides to give a person who is low-vision\, blind\, or calling in without video a sense of space and place. \nIf you have additional accessibility requests\, please let us know when you register. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\n\nLuis Adán Jiménez\, Senior Associate\, Apex Law Group \n \n\nLuis Adán Jiménez is a senior associate at Apex Law Group\, a boutique law firm based in Seattle\, Washington. Born and raised in rural New Mexico in a family of artists\, Adán developed a deep appreciation for the arts early in life. This background significantly influences his legal career\, where he specializes in intellectual property law\, particularly focusing on copyrights and trademarks. His work often involves supporting artists\, creatives\, nonprofits\, and entrepreneurs\, combining his passion for the arts with his legal expertise. \nAdán earned his Juris Doctorate from the University of Idaho College of Law in 2016\, and prior to that\, he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Fine and Studio Arts from the University of New Mexico in 2010. Since being admitted to the Washington State Bar\, he has been actively involved in the legal community\, serving as the President and Board Member for Washington Lawyers for the Arts and as Co-Vice Chair of the King County Bar Association’s Intellectual Property Section\, board member of Global Leadership Forum. He also volunteers with Kids in Need of Defense\, assisting unaccompanied minors with legal challenges in the United States\, and Communities Rise legal clinics\, assisting nonprofits with legal questions. In my free time\, I like spending time with my family and running. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThanks to Our Partner\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Nonprofit Association of Washington in partnership with the Washington Office of the Secretary of State and Apex Law Group. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions? Check out the event FAQ page or contact Nonprofit Association of Washington \nPhone: (855) 299-2922 x108 \nEmail: learning@nonprofitwa.org

DESCRIPTION:March 19 | 10:00 am  –  12:00 pm\n\nFree\n\nLet’s Go Legal is here to help you achieve your mission and stay compliant in the process.

The session will also cover bylaws and how to use them to strengthen your board practices as well as advocacy and ways to grow your mission within the public sector. \nThe virtual workshop will cover: \n\nIntellectual Property Law\nState Law\nFederal Law\nFundraising\nEmployment Law
