0.3 CEUs
126 JC Penney Conference Center
Instructor: Jim Judge, Director of the Better Business Bureau Charity Information Service for the BBB of Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois
As donors and funders carefully consider their decisions to give, the role of agencies that review and provide ratings of nonprofits is likely to grow beyond its existing importance. This workshop will provide an overview of the Better Business Bureau as one of the most important review agencies operating today. Staff from the BBB will: (1) shed light on the purpose of the BBB, (2) provide a comparison of third-party evaluators similar to the BBB, (3) explain what the BBB considers to be "best practices" for nonprofits, and (4) give examples of missteps and shortcomings by nonprofit organizations. A detailed examination of the BBB standards for governance, oversight, fundraising, policies, procedures, and financial practices will be provided, and will include examples, templates, and materials used by the BBB.

What resources should your organization have in place, or know about, to help you plan for an event where you sell, or serve, alcohol, or to help protect you in the event of a problem? What regulations apply to your proposed sale of alcoholic beverages? Come learn the answers to these questions and more as we explore issues that might not be fully appreciated as they apply to this otherwise common activity
