	»	Voting, Social Media and the 990: New, Cost-Effective Tools for Retaining Members Recorded on June 22, 2009
	Is the recession taking a toll on membership and voter turnout? Are budget problems and necessary – but controversial -- decisions sparking dissension and rancor within your organization? Studies show you can reverse these trends by keeping your membership active, informed and engaged. That means moving quickly and finding effective new ways to communicate your goals, build consensus, and mobilize your supporters. But how can you take on these new challenges when money and staff are already pared to the bone?


	»	The Form 990: Dealing with the Fall Out Recorded on March 16, 2010
	The Form 990 has been in place for a little over a year. But are you filing it correctly? Make sure you have the policies in place to keep your organization in compliance - or risk financial and civil penalties from the IRS. Knowing what changes to make, however, isn't simple: IRS definitions aren't always clear and the final instructions on some of the 16 schedules are far from self-explanatory. Schedule VI, for example, is charged with complex issues surrounding policy choices about activities and how to report them.

	Will reductions-in-force, salary freezes or reductions, altered work conditions, or other recession-driven employment practices save your non-profit ... or sink it in litigation, turnover and low morale? Your know-how and leadership will make the difference. That's why it's crucial to be at work with today's best practices for implementing HR changes and ensuring compliance with legal requirements. It's also vital to conduct HR audits without allowing the Form 990's transparency on compensation and benefits to spark widespread dissatisfaction -- and legal claims. Plus, you must assure compliance with recent federal FLSA and ADAAA changes and upcoming state measures, such as the DC Accrued Sick and Safe Leave Act. Here's where to start . . .

	»	The Advocacy Handbook: A Practitioner's Guide to Achieving Policy Goals Through Organization Networks
	With a landslide of policy initiatives churning through Washington, the states and local governments, you can’t be everywhere at once. Still, even one phrase in a bill can have a profound impact on your organization's policy goals. If you’re starting fresh with advocacy or trying to catch up with organizations that already have highly motivated networks in place, the handbook helps you plan and implement a comprehensive program. Or, simply zero in on specific aspects of your existing plan, like shoring up HLOGA compliance, creating multi-level networks, or dealing with opponents.
