| This year’s NAAG/NASCO Charities Conference will be held virtually on the afternoons of October 13 and 14, 2021. The conference is the only annual event at which charity regulators and nonprofit organizations and their attorneys, accountants, fundraisers, and advisers have the opportunity to meet, hear about, and discuss issues of interest to the charitable sector. The sessions on Wednesday, Oct. 13 are open to the public and provide an opportunity to hear from regulators and others in the nonprofit sector on issues of current relevance, including sessions on Fundraising and Governance: The Impact of COVID and A Brave New World of Working Together: State Law Questions Surrounding Arrangements Between Charities and Non-Charities.
