GOOD GOVERNANCE REDUCES RISK AND PROTECTS YOUR MISSION

What does organizational governance have to do with church and nonprofit insurance? It’s foundational. Effective leadership is proactive in identifying and preventing risks and threats to cause-oriented organizations. These range from facility maintenance to embezzlement to protecting children and youth. Through our partnership with Max Herr, president of Church & Ministry Compliance Consulting, we have created a free series of educational webinars for church and nonprofit staff and leaders. As Max often says, church and faith-based organizations live in two worlds. There is the theological, spiritual world and the civil, governmental world. Often, churches and charitable nonprofits neglect the civil side of the ledger. This can result in litigation, unexpected expenses, loss of property-tax exemptions and wage and hour disputes. In this series of webinars we address:

  • Training for church boards: Board members need to understand the importance of their state-defined roles and leadership.

  • Church bylaws: Bylaws serve as the foundational legal document for a church, determining the roles and responsibilities of its leaders and the processes for decision-making and conflict resolution. In times of crisis, these bylaws become particularly vital.

  • Polices and procedures for churches and nonprofits: Developing policies and procedures is an essential task for churches and nonprofit organizations. These guidelines serve as a roadmap for daily operations, helping to steer clear decisions, resolve disputes, and provide a legal safeguard.
