PHILADELPHIA — Stradley Ronon held the Philadelphia Bar Foundation Board Observer Program’s Annual Kickoff CLE & Reception on January 24 in the firm’s Philadelphia office.
The event began with a CLE presentation on “The Nuts & Bolts of Nonprofit Board Service,” which discussed issues related to state and federal laws that nonprofit board members face, such as fiduciary duties and tax laws applicable to nonprofits. The presentation was followed by an orientation during which program members were paired with their respective nonprofits.
Stradley Ronon associate Andrew Barron is a member of the Board Observer Program steering committee. The program — a partnership between the Bar Foundation and the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Delivery of Legal Services Committee and Young Lawyers Division — provides young lawyers in the Philadelphia area with the opportunity to volunteer and serve as an observer on a local nonprofit’s board of directors.
