Join CAPLAW financial consultant Kay Sohl and financial managers from Community Action Agencies across the country to discuss emerging challenges and strategies CAA CFOs are using to provide the financial leadership their organizations need. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Discussion topics will include:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;CFO role in overall grants compliance – beyond grants accounting, how CFOs are contributing to clean audits during the rollercoaster ride of ARRA funding&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;CFO as manager – reconfiguring finance departments, providing effective supervision, finding resources needed to make the job doable &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;CFO as communicator – how CFOs are working with Boards, CEOs and executive management teams to build understanding of overall financial health and key strategic questions &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;CFO as strategist – how CFO’s are using their expertise to help their nonprofits identify and implement new strategies to withstand tumultuous times &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date: Wednesday, December 15, 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fee: FREE!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Format: Webinar&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.caplaw.org/FiscalManagement.html"&gt;View more information about the call and REGISTER&lt;/a&gt;! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Registration Questions?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For questions regarding the conference calls or registration, please contact Cara Loffredo at (617) 348-6426.

His practice concentrates on issues relating to the design, administration, and taxation of health and other welfare benefits plans. Mr. Leeds has represented employers in the negotiation and drafting of contracts with insurers, third-party administrators, and other vendors in documenting and communicating welfare benefits plans, and in complying with applicable state and federal laws, including HIPAA, COBRA, cafeteria-plan requirements, and the rules applicable to government benefits programs, such as Medicare.

Wherever you may be in your own financial journey, NFF's new information-packed Loan Webinar can help you gain a more in-depth understanding of nonprofit lending. Our Chief Credit Officer and Vice President of Financial Services, Anne Dyjak, will walk you through what kinds of loans are available for nonprofits, what lenders look for from potential borrowers, and what borrowers should expect from a good lender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/489962402"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e69138;"&gt;The 4 Horsemen of the Nonprofit Financial Apocalypse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 22nd, 12pm EST&lt;br /&gt;Free and Open to All&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the recession spread virally across the sector, a shocking picture of nonprofit sustainability emerged. On one side, we were unsurprised to see already financially unstable organizations caving under increased financial pressures and funding withdrawals. But another group of victims in the sector was less predictable. Organizations that boasted enviable business models and followed financial "best practices" turned out to be surprisingly vulnerable. So what went wrong?&lt;br /&gt;In NFF President &amp;amp; CEO Clara Miller's recent Nonprofit Quarterly article, "The Four Horsemen of the Nonprofit Financial Apocalypse,” she illuminates the hidden patterns that led our sector to falter in seemingly unpredictable ways. In an accompanying Webinar hosted by The Nonprofit Quarterly, NPQ Editor-in-Chief, Ruth McCambridge, and Clara will delve deeper into the article and respond to your questions, comments, and concerns on this important topic. We encourage you to read the article and participate in what promises to be an engaging discussion on the future or our sector!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6983584333636553642-5402110825920107198?l=caplaw.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://caplaw.blogspot.com/feeds/5402110825920107198/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://caplaw.blogspot.com/2010/06/attend-free-webinar-from-nonprofit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6983584333636553642/posts/default/5402110825920107198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6983584333636553642/posts/default/5402110825920107198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://caplaw.blogspot.com/2010/06/attend-free-webinar-from-nonprofit.html' title='Attend a Free Webinar from the Nonprofit Finance Fund!'/><author><name>CAPLAW</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03551361241452207226</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='9' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JsTh7WdKPjE/SvHlcW6zceI/AAAAAAAAABA/GPsZIARasHY/S220/Small+Caplaw+logo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JsTh7WdKPjE/TAadMGcu3NI/AAAAAAAAADw/vHPBS9pfVb0/s72-c/NpFinanceFundLogo.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6983584333636553642.post-9216102243376243379</id><published>2010-06-02T09:28:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-06-02T14:14:39.807-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Training'/><title type='text'>Upcoming Fisher &amp;
