KEYNOTE ADDRESS:
Deputy Attorney General Elizabeth Kim
Not everyone is aware who in state government is "in charge" of nonprofits and foundations. The answer: the Charitable Trusts division of the Attorney General's office. And this division has a new leader: Elizabeth Kim, Supervising Deputy Attorney General. We have been fortunate that the California AG's office is a national leader in pursuing policy actions that protect both donors and nonprofits. As Elizabeth steps into this new role, we'll hear about her ambitions for regulatory and other changes, as well as concerns for the future.
