EXPOSED: A Legal field guide for
nonprofit executives
This new book will be released in September 2009. Published by the Nonprofit Risk Management Center, this title replaces “Ready in Defense: A Liability, Litigation and Legal Guide for Nonprofits.” If you’ve ever been intimidated by a lawyer whose advice left you with a throbbing headache or incurable insomnia, this book will provide welcome relief. Written for non-lawyer nonprofit executives, Exposed walks the reader through important legal terms and concepts and offers practical risk management advice. While a lawsuit against your nonprofit may not be your biggest worry (yet!), reading Exposed will help you better understand the exposures facing your nonprofit. And following up on the advice in the book may help you get a better night’s sleep. While this new book is not a substitute for a formal legal education, it will help put you at ease the next time you’re working with legal counsel on any issue for which your nonprofit might be exposed to legal claims. In addition to updated chapters on employment liability and the board’s legal responsibilities, this edition features a brand-new chapter on exposure to claims alleging abuse of vulnerable clients.
