Records Retention for Non-Profits in a Digital Age 

As our world moves more and more to “paperless” environments and technology is used to communicate, questions arise about what information needs to be retained by non‐profits and how and when records (including electronic records) can be destroyed. This workshop will focus on the basics of records retention for non-profits, particularly those who contract with state and local governments and receive government funding. The workshop will specifically address records retention issues as they relate to email communications and text messages. The workshop will not only provide an overview of the applicable law, but will involve a discussion of best practices and practical tips for non profits.
