Town Hall: Practical DEI Strategies for Nonprofits, Legal Insights & Risk Management

 

Nonprofits across the country are grappling with uncertainty as the legal and political landscape around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) continues to evolve. Executive Orders and ongoing lawsuits are raising questions about what is and isn’t legally required, what risks organizations should consider, and how to move forward without compromising mission or values.

The Colorado Nonprofit Association is hosting this essential conversation with Michelle Ferguson and Tom Downey of Ireland Stapleton to help nonprofit leaders cut through the confusion. This 60-minute, no-nonsense session will clarify the latest developments, dispel misinformation, and provide a practical framework for decision-making.

Participants will leave with:
 A clear understanding of current Executive Orders and legal realities—what they do and don’t say, and how they apply to nonprofits.
 A risk assessment framework to help organizations evaluate their unique position and determine the best course of action.
 Actionable guidance for board and staff conversations—including key discussion prompts to ensure nonprofits make intentional, informed decisions.

Whether your nonprofit is actively engaged in DEI work or simply wants to stay compliant while staying true to its mission, this session will provide real-time insights and practical next steps to help you move forward with confidence.
