Fraternal Law Conference Set for November 9th and 10th in Cincinnati

Fraternal Law Partners, a division of Manley Burke, LPA, is pleased to announce the return of the Fraternal Law Conference in 2012. The Fraternal Law Conference is the leading legal education event for fraternities, sororities and their related foundations, and will touch on a number of topics related to risk management and hazing, corporate governance and tax law.

Starting this year, the Conference will become an annual event. Additionally, 2012 is the first year the Fraternal Law Conference will offer a dual-track format. One track will address the inner workings of fraternities and sororities.  Topics include hazing, internal discipline and membership reviews, social media, house corporation governance, a taxation update, additional insureds, and relationships between chapters and their host institutions.  The second track will be targeted specifically to the unique needs of foundations.  Topics include planned giving, state registrations and improving foundation-fraternity relationships, among others.

We will also have joint sessions, including Tim Burke’s always-popular Problem Solving session and roundtable discussions for both lawyers and non-lawyers.  For our luncheon speaker, we are fortunate to have David A. Brennan, the dean of the University of Kentucky College of Law join us.  Dean Brennan is an innovator in the field of nonprofit law and he will share his unique experience and perspective on nonprofit organizations.
