Put Legal Fears to Rest If you have ever been intimidated by an onerous contract, have woken up in a cold sweat after a nightmare involving lawyers, or you're simply determined to better understand the legal risks facing the nonprofit you serve, the cure you've been craving is finally available. The brand-new edition of Exposed: A Legal Field Guide for Nonprofit Executives offers a tour of the maze-like world of legal liability custom-fit for nonprofit leaders.
