Duration: 60 minutes
Recorded on: 09/10/2024

As election season heats up, join Feldesman Leifer attorneys Molly Evans and Mike Glomb as they discuss the rules of the road for non-profits when it comes to voter engagement, political activity, and lobbying. In this training, the presenters will review the restrictions and requirements for tax-exempt organizations and for recipients of federal funding. They will also respond to frequently asked questions such as:

  • Can we hold voter registration drives in our clinic sites?

Additionally, the attorneys will provide best practices to avoid and mitigate compliance risks in the areas of voter engagement, political activity, and lobbying.

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
