Selected Topics for Non-profit Associations

Event | 11.26.19, 6:00 AM CST - 8:00 AM CST

Address

Crowell & Moring
Rue Joseph Stevens 7, B-1000 Brussels

Register

On 28 February 2019, the Belgian Parliament adopted a new Code of Companies and Associations, which i.a. integrates the law on non-profit associations into the Code. This is part of a broader development that has resulted in non-profit associations becoming “enterprises” subject to the Code on Economic law and insolvency law.


During this Open Table we will discuss the new landscape for non-profit associations, including the new rules on director’s liability. We will also talk about the UBO registration obligation for non-profits.


Finally, non-profit associations often struggle with the application of public procurement rules, both as an entity that may be obliged to comply with these rules, as well as when subscribing to a public tender.

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco

Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
