Oct 2019 Charity & NFP Law Update
A handout is now available from a presentation given by Terrance S. Carter on the topic of Legal Challenges and Options for Boards of Religious Institutes in Transition at the Association of Treasurers of Religious Institutes 32nd Annual Conference, on September 29, 2019 in Calgary. The handout will be of interest for Catholic and other religious organizations having to deal with the intersection of civil law and canon law, particularly where these areas of law touch on the role of directors in dealing with religious organizations in transition, which may arise in part due to declining membership. The handout identifies legal challenges that boards of religious institutes in transition can face as civil law entities, as well as some options and suggestions to consider in response.
