Board members who voluntarily give of their time to advance their profession automatically assume individual legal obligations and personal risk by serving in their positions. This concise booklet will quickly orient them to these obligations and summarize the major areas of risk including:

antitrust
defamation and infringement
tax-exemption requirements
lobbying and political activity


Rounding out this resource is a section on avoiding or minimizing risks. As an association, one thing you can do is educate your board members by giving them each a copy of this booklet.
