SUMMARY:The Compensation Conundrum: Mastering Form 990 Part VII and Schedule J
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \n  \nThe public facing compensation reporting on Form 990 draw a lot of interest- and a lot of questions. We present a comprehensive discussion providing historical and philosophical context as to the “why” this reporting is necessary. We break down whose compensation is reported\, give guidance on categorizing compensation types\, outline best practices\, and more. We walk through an engaging case study showcasing particular challenges presented by a 501(c)(6) and related 501(c)(3) sharing staff. Finally\, we discuss some of the nuanced scenarios we often see in practice and the reporting implications. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n  \nExplain why Congress and the IRS require this information. Identify whose compensation is reported. \n  \nCategorize different types of compensation for Form 990. \n  \nOutline how to document executive compensation review and approval. Describe how Schedule J and Form 990 Part VII relate to one another. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Beyond the Rainy Day Fund: Rethinking How Your Nonprofit Structures Its Reserves
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \n  \nMany nonprofits and associations hold their reserves in a single blended portfolio\, or segment only by time horizon\, but that approach can leave dollars with different purposes competing for the same investment strategy. This session walks Executive Directors and CFOs through how to segment reserves by purpose as well as time horizon\, and how to translate that structure into a formal reserve policy your board can adopt and maintain. We’ll cover common reserve segments (operating\, planned\, stability\, strategic\, restricted)\, what belongs in a well-constructed reserve policy\, and how it works alongside your Investment Policy Statement. You’ll leave with a practical framework to bring back to your finance committee. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n  \nDistinguish between segmenting reserves by time horizon alone versus by purpose\, and explain why the distinction matters for investment strategy. \n  \nIdentify the typical reserve pools (operating\, current-year\, planned\, stability\, strategic\, restricted) and match each to an appropriate time horizon and investment approach. \n  \nSize stability/emergency and planned spending reserves based on revenue concentration and known upcoming needs\, and recognize when remaining funds qualify as strategic reserve. \n  \nList the core components a reserve policy should include — purpose\, categories\, target balances\, conditions/authority for use\, replenishment\, and review cadence. \n  \nExplain how a reserve policy and an Investment Policy Statement function as companion documents\, and what belongs in each. \n  \nOutline next steps for bringing a segmentation framework and draft policy to their board or finance committee for review and adoption. \n

SUMMARY:AI Deepfakes\, Sticker Shock\, & Rogue Agents: Signs of a 2027 Slowdown?
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \n  \nOver the course of 2026 we’ve heard stories of AI avatar scammers\, autonomous hacks\, and that half-billion-dollar Claude invoice. Wary of the technology’s trajectory\, employees of AI companies are joining legislators in calls for federal regulation and global “pacing” of further development. Meanwhile\, association leaders are having to explain to their board why their AI spend surged before they were able to quantify any meaningful return on that investment. What does all this mean for the future of AI? Will 2027 be the year it loses momentum? Will we need to pivot our strategies in advance? This session will help level-set expectations and chart your path forward.\n \nLearning Objectives: \n  \n– Explore top technology trends that will carry into the new year\n \n– Predict impact on individual associations and the AI industry at large\n \n– Outline practical and productive next steps for your organization
