SUMMARY:Let’s Go Legal Webinar (March 2025)
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. This virtual workshop will get you started on a road to compliance by thinking of your nonprofit like a car. Just like a car\, you need to register your nonprofit and know how to operate the organization. There are state and federal rules of the road to follow. Your nonprofit needs money and resources (fuel) to power the organization. The people in your car matter too\, these are your nonprofit’s valuable workers. Lastly\, similar to cars\, every organization has a unique look and feel as well as special materials that you may want to protect. 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

This interactive and reflective session is designed to lay the groundwork for transformative conversations that foster better relationships\, leading to a community of loyal stakeholders. \nWhen we lead with story\, we build engaged teams\, more loyal clients\, and better communities. \nHelp your leaders communicate to connect\, engage\, and influence action. This workshop experience is tailored to encourage reflection and collaboration. \nWho is this webinar for? \n\nPurpose-driven organizations who want to increase engagement with their stakeholders. (better fundraising\, increased revenue)\n\n\nOrganizations who want to give their people the skills to influence action and elevate their impact.\n\nWhat value can I expect? \n\nWhen attendees are committed to applying what you’ve learned\, you can put your new story and communication skills to work immediately.\n\n\nMore effective communication with your teams\, donors\, and volunteers.\n\n\nImproved community-building skills.\n\nAbout the presentor\nLisa Gerber is a story strategist and communications expert who works with teams to use the power of story effectively through workshops\, strategic planning\, and one-to-one coaching.
