Elizabeth Schmidt, professor of practice in the School of Public Policy, has authored “Rules of the Road for Nonprofit Leaders: Using the Law to Achieve Your Mission,” a new book published this month by Georgetown University Press.

“Rules of the Road for Nonprofit Leaders” offers a translation of the convoluted nonprofit legal framework into terms that nonprofit leaders without a law degree can understand. Schmidt, who specializes in nonprofits, social enterprises and policy analysis, provides a lens through which nonprofit leaders can see how these laws can help them pursue their missions and be responsive to the changing needs of the nonprofit sector and of society.

The book shows nonprofit leaders, board members, and volunteers how nonprofit law relates to all aspects of nonprofit management.

Schmidt was previously coauthor of “Nonprofit Law: The Life Cycle of a Charitable Organization, 3rd Edition,” which was published in 2021.

More information about the book and links to order its hardcover, paperback or ebook editions can be found on the Georgetown University Press website.
