Maintaining Your Arts Non-Profit Organization
with Attorneys Deborah Cooke and Vida Thomas

Key issues to be covered include: conflicts of interest, loans made by public benefit corporations, Director/Officer liability insurance and indemnification, maintaining tax-exempt status, political activities, charitable contributions and dissolution, and employment issues.

Attorney Deborah Cooke will present a broad overview, including requirements for directors and officers and annual filing and reporting requirements for state and federal agencies. Other key issues to be covered: conflicts of interest; loan made by public benefit corporations; director/officer liability insurance and indemnification; maintaining tax-exempt status; political activities; charitable contributions and dissolution.

Employment attorney Vida L. Thomas will be explaining how to ensure that you comply with the law. Think your worker is an independent contractor? Think again. The state and federal rules
defining independent contractors are complex, sometimes conflicting, and often counter-intuitive. Many individuals classified as independent contractors are actually employees, meaning that their “employer” can be forced to pay retroactive payroll taxes, as well as penalties for failing to withhold taxes, and failing to carry workers’ compensation
insurance.
