If you want to make your organization more effective, you need comprehensive policies that you follow. This webinar has traditionally focused on five of the policies most critical for good governance:

• Conflict of Interest
• Whistleblower
• Document Retention
• Compensation
• Confidentiality

This time, we have added a new one that is about to become more critical than ever before: Working Remotely.

With more people suddenly working from home in the current coronavirus situation, nonprofits may not have had time to develop comprehensive remote working policies to guide their efforts. And even if we are to return to “normal” in the foreseeable future, the new normal is likely to involve a lot more working from home than the old normal. Now is the time for nonprofits to add a comprehensive remote working policy to their procedures.

The Form 990 tax information return requires nonprofits to report whether they have a conflict of interest policy, a whistleblower policy, and a document retention and destruction policy. Potential donors, the media, regulators, and careful job seekers will have greater confidence when an organization responds "yes" to the policy questions.

We will do a deep dive into these three policies, plus a policy for setting compensation (to avoid excess benefits), one for dealing with confidentiality of information, and a new one dealing with working remotely. We will discuss the key components of each policy and study various sample policies to see how organizations can deal differently with different issues.

This webinar highlights policies promulgated and copyrighted by the Standards for Excellence Institute, the national program for ethics and accountability in the nonprofit sector. The Standards were originally developed by Maryland Nonprofits and are being promoted nationally with 10 replication partners, including the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations.
