After almost 20 years of providing the non-profit perspective on legal and other issues to my for-profit lawyer colleagues, I was recently given reason to wonder if this column has had any effect. As I’ve mentioned here occasionally, I am a member of a group of general counsel of non-profit organizations in the D.C. area that meets for lunch every three months to share concerns, swap stories and generally learn from each other. Out of respect for the confidentiality of our sessions, I won’t mention any companies by name, but I daresay you would recognize every single one of them.
They include museums, universities, media companies, environmental groups and, obviously, C-SPAN.
