IRS Co-Sponsors Conference to Examine Nonprofit Governance

The Internal Revenue Service will be a co-sponsor of a one-day meeting on “Issues in Nonprofit Governance” to be held June 23 in Washington, D.C.

Also sponsoring the event: Independent Sector, a national coalition of about 600 charities and foundations, and Georgetown University Law Center’s Continuing Legal Education program.

U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra, a California Democrat, is scheduled to give the keynote speech. Mr. Becerra is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, which oversees tax matters.

“Government stakeholders, including state charity officials, Congress, and the Internal Revenue Service, have made clear their expectations for better governance in the sector,” says a conference brochure.
