New COVID-19 Resources: Survey Template to Assess Members' Needs, Two Upcoming Programs
On its COVID-19 resource page, the ABA Division for Bar Services has posted a downloadable survey template with questions that bars are free to use in order to get a better sense of their members' needs related to the pandemic. The division is offering low-priced assistance for bars that want help in creating, distributing, and analyzing the data from this type of survey. Also, the Division for Bar Services has two upcoming programs that will address governance during this crisis. First, as part of the Board Catalyst webinar series, on Wednesday, May 13, at 1:00 PM Central, nonprofit expert David Renz will discuss appropriate ways for boards to contemplate risk, even at a time when it's tempting to be more risk averse than ever. Then, on Wednesday, May 20, at 10:00 AM Central, a complimentary joint webinar between the Division for Bar Services and the National Conference of Bar Presidents will cover the dos and don'ts of conducting bar governance remotely.
