Nonprofit organizations must not only function within the legal frameworks created by the federal government and the state in which they operate, but also within the ethical guidelines and standards to maintain the public’s trust. In this Discussion, you will explain the legal and ethical responsibilities of a board of directors.

Review this week’s Learning Resources in preparation for the Discussion.
