October 2006 - May, 2007 Luncheon Series
co-sponsored by the
Center for Community-Based & Nonprofit Organizations at Austin Community College, Austin Young Lawyers Association, and the Texas Association of Nonprofit Organizations.
The series was designed to be a way for nonprofit professionals and volunteer leaders to broaden their skills set and learn about critical areas; and for young (and not so young) lawyers to learn how to provide business legal guidance without the rush and information overload of a comprehensive all day seminar.
