Event Description

Title
Changes in Rules and Regulations: What you need to know about changes to ORS 65 (Springfield)

Presenter
David Atkin, Director and Attorney, Center for Nonprofit Law

Since 2014 a work group of the Oregon State Bar has been reviewing ORS Chapter 65 to identify provisions that needed clarification or modernization. After nearly four years and a lot of effort by the work group, SB360 was drafted and the bill was passed into law in the last legislative session. The changes to ORS 65 will go into effect on January 1, 2020. The statutory changes will affect the way all nonprofits in Oregon work and act. 

This session is led by David Atkin – one of the members of that work group – who will highlight some of the changes that will be most important to pay attention to for Oregon nonprofits. The session will cover simplified rules for majority voting, allowances for voting by email, modifications to the conflicts of interest provisions and changes to a number of requirements for membership nonprofits.

Do not miss this session! Keep your nonprofit up-to-date on the rules and regs that govern your corporate status!
