Did you see the article about the person who stole the money from the little league treasury? No one WANTS to go to prison, but every year there are situations where a trusted volunteer or staff member steals money. Yes, it really happens and can happen at any organization, especially if proper controls and processes are not in place.
AND, in this time of distancing ourselves from questionable donors that seemingly don’t align with our values, we will discuss where is the line for applying our values and where can (should) we be more flexible?
This interactive workshop will present ideas to protect the integrity of your organization and your own professional reputation by embracing AFP’s Code of Ethics in practical ways. Participants will get a chance to discuss real-life cases of value alignment.
Pending Approval for CFRE credit.
