    In keeping with the theme for this year’s conference, this session considers, in the context of nonprofit leadership, the degree to which law fosters civil society. It explores the personal price that citizens sometimes pay for their involvement in nonprofit organizations. 

    The speakers address this question in its domestic and its international dimensions.  In the United States, benefactors have on occasion been excoriated for well-intentioned gifts; humiliated by accusations of wrongdoing; and tarnished by the shortcomings of the organizations they founded. Overseas, leaders of nonprofits sometimes have been financially ruined and physically imperiled. 

    Time will be reserved to hear perspectives from the audience.
