- Description: Join us for session 1 of 6 of the Nonprofit Employment Law Sessions! Whether for an employee with a disability or a pregnancy, or one seeking religiously based exceptions, Attorneys Crisarla Houston and David Schleicher, will explore how far Congress and the courts expect nonprofits to go to accommodate employee requests. The session will also address the question: “Wait – I thought we were too small an organization to even be covered by those laws?”
