The 2018 Elections: What’s at Stake for Nonprofits? 

Join us for NAMC's annual public policy update. This year we will have a conversation with U.S. Congressman Jimmy Panetta about Federal issues that impact nonprofits, plus a panel discussion about issues on the California ballot, the role and responsibilities of nonprofits in elections and rules for engaging in the political process. 

In order to get the most out of the session, we recommend that you read 2 or 3 short articles for backround on some of the issues that will be discussed.

• Protecting the Johnson Amendment and Nonprofit Nonpartisanship
• What? Our Nonprofit has to pay taxes on benefits we give to employees?
• GOP Tax Law Makes Churches and Nonprofits Pay Taxes for the First Time

You might also want to review some of the CA ballot propositions. A good source is Ballotpedia.
