Our ABA Business Law Today Articles

Lisa Runquist and I both have articles in the latest issue of Business Law Today, a publication of the ABA Business Law Section. Appropriately for Runquist & Associates, the July/August 2009 issue of the BLT has the "mini-theme" of nonprofit organizations. Lisa's article, co-authored with attorney Mike Malamut, on the revised Form 990, is The IRS's New Regulation of Nonprofit Governance. My article, on current legal developments regarding religious organizations, is The Business of Religion.
