The Law Office of Stephanie Adams provides legal services to New York State nonprofits and their boards of trustees. After reading in The Buffalo News that the boards of two prominent Buffalo nonprofits failed to respond in a timely and considerate manner to complaints concerning their former presidents, we have created a board member training regime on board oversight and tough decision-making.
The 90-minute training, titled Board Oversight and Intervention: Using the Tools of Governance to Prevent and Address Concerns in an NFP Environment, will coach current and prospective board members on how to prepare for, prevent, and appropriately respond to conflicts between, controversy about, and misconduct by board members.
The customizable and confidential training, designed to consider the unique mission and culture of your organization, will provide participants with simple yet critical tools that boards can use to create and maintain a healthy work environment while promoting a not-for-profit mission.
Our trainers are Stephanie “Cole” Adams, former General Counsel at Niagara University, and Samantha White, President of the Minority Bar Association of Western New York, who between them have thousands of hours of board training, investigations, and advocacy experience with charitable operations. While the topic is serious, Cole and Sam work to keep the content interactive and engaging.
To inquire about a customized training for your organization, reach out to info@losapllc.com or call (716) 464-3386 to reach out to Ms. Adams personally.
