  • AI Board Minutes

    AI Board Minutes
    2025/12/10

    Upcoming tax law changes mean that there could be a lot of unexpected gifts hitting before December 31st this year. How do we keep windfalls from ratcheting up board expectations for years afterwards? Stacey and Andy have some thoughts! Also this week, we hear from a volunteer who has been treated very badly, and have an actual disagreement about whether or not to use AI to compile notes from a board meeting! Thanks for joining us, and set your “point of action” to remind yourself to send a question to Questions@NonprofitEverything.com!
