The Executive Director Forum is a unique opportunity for EDs/CEOs to connect with their peers, share ideas, and learn from each other in a supportive environment. Each session offers three discussion groups facilitated by three outstanding leaders. The format of the forum allows you to circulate through all three topics and interact with many of the executives in attendance as well as our outstanding discussion leaders.
"The ED Forums are always a shot in the arm - you leave the session with a few new relationships, a handful of great ideas and potential solutions, and more than enough inspiration to last until the next ED forum!"

3. Fast Breaking News - How to Determine the Impact of the New Overtime Rules on Your Organization
The new FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) regulations just announced will mean that many staff of nonprofits that have been exempt from overtime must be paid an overtime rate of time and one-half of their hourly salary for work outside of their regular work week. In fact, approximately 20 percent of nonprofit executive directors have salaries below $47,476, which is the cut off for exemption from overtime. This discussion group will share tools, processes, and strategies to prepare for these changes, which take effect December 1, 2016.
