📢 Join us on Monday for the third episode in our series of webinars aimed at assisting ...development organizations considering transitions, including mergers, partnerships, legacy plans, and wind-downs. We’re looking at the legal ramifications for U.S.-based social change organizations navigating operational changes.
Given the USAID stop-work orders, contract and grant cancellations, and shifting international support, many non-profit and civil society organizations have faced tough decisions about how to reorganize. While strategic mergers and partnerships are still relatively rare in this sector, they can protect assets and amplify impact.
That’s why Accountability Lab, Digital Public, and Development Gateway: An Irex Venture (DG), with the support of the International Senior Lawyers Project (ISLP), have put together this webinar series, providing the critical, timely knowledge required to take those first important steps with confidence.
🗓️ Join us on Monday, July 28, from 10am - 11:30am EST for this third webinar.
You’ll hear from Michael Lebovitz, Deepa Menon and Erin Broderick, (Partners at Eversheds Sutherland), plus Sally Ebanoidze and Jameson Joseph (Vice Presidents at Morgan Stanley); with moderation by DG’s COO, Vanessa Goas, and ISLP’s Executive Director, Sara Lulo.
