Legal Risk Management for Associations

Legal Risk Management for Associations is intended to assist volunteers and employees who have positions of responsibility and authority for trade and professional associations in

• avoiding violations of the law

• protecting the future of their association

• accomplishing their association's goals and objectives effectively and with increased confidence that legal problems will not interfere

The video is divided into five vignettes, each providing a broad scope of legal issues that will be useful for associations of all kinds, whether large, medium, or small in size and whether national, state, or local in focus. In addition, narration interspersed between each vignette will help the viewer determine whether the legal principle depicted in the vignette is relevant to a particular circumstance or association.

Legal Risk Management for Associations is not intended as legal advice or as a substitute for consultation with any association's legal counsel; however, it should help association volunteers and employees identify potential legal problems and seek legal assistance if needed.
