Charles Bruder Addresses Leaders in Non-Profit Organizations on Fundraising Tax Issues

Charles A. Bruder, a Member of the Bridgewater-based law firm Norris McLaughlin, P.A. and Co-Chair of its Executive Compensation & Employee Benefits Group, was on a panel discussing the topic “Fundraising: The Strategies That Work,” at a seminar entitled “Business Perspectives in Non-Profit Management: The Next Generation.” The seminar, held on Monday, March 8, 2010, at Raritan Valley Community College, was hosted by the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by the Chamber in conjunction with TD Bank, Somerset County Business Partnership, United Way of Hunterdon County, United Way of Somerset County, and both counties.

The seminar was designed for non-profit organization leaders, board members, staff members, and volunteers with organizational responsibilities. The purpose of the interactive discussion was to help forward-thinking non-profit leaders that are dedicated to strengthening organizational missions, stimulating strategic thinking and garnering the cross-discipline dialog that improves management practices and makes a difference in the internal experience of business performance and external impact on service delivery.
