GSAE invites you to join a free webinar on Wednesday, May 13 at 2:00 pm ET, hosted by Association Societies Alliance (ASA), to help you navigate these issues for your own association. Where do you find these answers, what are practical and workable solutions to these significant challenges, and what will constitute compliance with the law and your own governing documents? This webinar will answer these questions, as well as others such as:
