Program Description: One of the major challenges that so many boards struggle with is understanding board member roles and responsibilities and how to fulfill them. Being a board member is more than a résumé builder as they need to be committed to following through on promises and assisting the organization to the best of their abilities. They also need to fully support the work, represent the organization’s mission, and be dedicated spokespersons for the cause. The board should do all they can to reach organizational goals, but members still have a responsibility to follow the organization’s rules.

Wayne Davis will be speaking on the panel, Enhancing the Executive Director/Board Partnership While Delivering Mission, at 4:05pm.
Program Description: The dynamics of the board-executive partnership has a strong effect on the health and sustainability of an organization. Board members and executives have different roles, and the balance of power helps them to get the work of the organization done. The relationship between the board and the executives requires recognizing and appreciating each other’s position within the organization. When both teams are working together like this it maximizes the impact of the nonprofit.

The misclassification of employees as independent contractors has long been the basis for many class action wage & hour lawsuits as well as governmental audits. Most recently in the news, gig companies - who have been enjoying a beneficial relationship with their workers being classified as independent contractors - have experienced a string of misclassification law suits.

In October, the Department of Labor proposed a new rule regarding the misclassification where it creates a lower standard for employee classification. and some of the proposed legislation includes a more holistic look at the worker's employment. It is crucial to classify workers properly and comply with current and future state and federal rules.

Historically, investment managers, particularly emerging managers, have assumed that in order to have a successful fundraise and to meet their Rule 206 regulatory requirements, they would need to spend large sums building out a complete in-house back-office consisting of a Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Trader, and Chief Compliance Officer. However, a dramatic shift in the preferences of institutional investors is taking place. Enter outsourcing. Institutional investors have begun recommending, and in some cases mandating, investment managers outsource key functions of their back-office and trading to build proper independent controls around critical infrastructure (i.e. cash movements, regulatory compliance, etc.). Outsourcing these functions to independent third parties allows managers to minimize risks, minimize operating costs, streamline operations, and create a more institutional quality offering and of course, meet their regulatory needs.

2015 proved to be a challenging year for the hedge fund industry for numerous reasons. Market volatility impacted hedge funds of all sizes and many strategies.
