We will explore ethical decision-making and discuss course(s) of action based on your nonprofit’s values. Look at steps nonprofits can take to avoid ethical pitfalls, including developing an organizational code of conduct. Participants will be expected to email the instructor a written scenario involving ethical issues no later than one week before the class.
