MEMBERS ONLY CLE: Best Practices for Corporate Political Involvement

REGISTER

2018 has been a contentious, and expensive, election year, and 2020 will likely be even more so. Corporations are a key fundraising target, whether for ambitious ballot measures or candidates in hard-fought federal or state elections. But corporate political activity comes with risks, from legal liability to public relations woes. This session will provide practical tips on how to navigate the risks associated with corporate involvement in elections. Drawing on the lessons of the 2018 election just passed, we will talk about the common ways in which corporations are asked to become involved, traps for the unwary, and tips about how to minimize risks through internal compliance procedures.
