Not-for-Profit breakfast panel: Your not-for-profit has been sanctioned by a regulator or is at risk of sanctions. How should you respond to this crisis?

When: Thursday 17 October 2019
Time: 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Where: Russell Kennedy Lawyers - Level 12, 469 La Trobe Street, Melbourne

To keep their social licence to operate, not-for-profits need to stay ahead of new standards and compliance regimes. Regulators are increasing their scrutiny.

If you get on the wrong side of regulators, millions of dollars of funding and tax concessions could be at risk.

These issues can quickly escalate into a crisis that threatens your organisation’s reputation and survival.

This breakfast seminar will draw on the panel’s extensive experience to explore a case study and considerations to ensure your organisation’s response is effective and credible.

Join Ben Tallboys, Principal at Russell Kennedy Lawyers, Tony Nicholls, Director of Good Talent Media and Michael Goldsworthy, Principal Consultant at Australian Strategic Services.

Your host and panel moderator for the session is Jonathan Teh, Principal at Russell Kennedy Lawyers.
