2018 was a tumultuous year for many, but along with some of the lows we at NEO Law Group experienced with the rest of the country, we also had some personal highs. Erin Bradrick received the 2018 Outstanding Young Lawyer award from the American Bar Association Nonprofit Organizations Committee, Michele Berger had her article on governance and sexual harassment published by the ABA’s Bar Leader magazine, and I presented at the Georgetown Nonprofit Governance conference. We also just started to work on a graduate school course, which we’re tremendously excited about. Here are some more highlights and articles from NEO Law Group and the Nonprofit Law Blog over the past year.
