On today’s episode, Richard Duquette talks about Corporate Culture and Bicyclist Part 2. Listen as he shares some classic insights on nonprofit law and ethics!
A Community for Bicyclists
The State of California has a bicycling community that has a wide array of nonprofit organizations. These organizations represent the bicyclists’ interests in a variety of ways.
The good thing about them is they help bring the bicyclists together. They share their passion, and provide foster education, information, advocacy, and support.
Categories of Nonprofit Organizations
There are different nonprofit categories, as specified in 501(c)(3). Each has its own bylaws, which exist in context of and as a supplement to the principles in the statutory law.
By definition, a corporation is a creature--a legal entity. It includes nonprofits. The CA Corporations Code and the code 26 USC 501 are there for them for different purposes.
Rules to Overcome Challenges
Each corporation has a specific purpose. Challenges, however, could arise from politics and other strifes. There are rules that could be helpful in dealing with them.
The first rule is to avoid conflict of interests and self dealing. The law requires corporations to have a board of directors and executive officers. They hold fiduciary duty, which entails them to act confidently in behalf of their respective corporations.
