Hello,
I got notices about these two Seattle lectures and thought that I would
share that these kinds of talks are out there for people who are interested.
This is from a nonprofit mailing list that leans to the big corporate side
of things, but as we have been talking about liability, I thought others
might be interested to know that nonprofit orgs in Seattle often wonder
about these things.
yours,

This seminar will examine the rules and requirements around advocacy and
lobbying by nonprofit tax-exempt organizations in Washington State. There

the Washington State law registration requirements and the Federal tax law
restrictions on tax-exempt organizations that do advocacy and lobbying.
Local experts will talk about best practices on managing nonprofit advocacy
