1 JACK B. SIEGEL CHARITY GOVERNANCE CONSULTING LLC BOARD AND MANAGEMENT TRAINING Jack Siegel offers board and executive training in nonprofit governance through Charity Governance Consulting LLC. APPROACH: Jack is a lawyer and a CPA, but he approaches all of the topics he covers from a management and practical viewpoint. Board and nonprofit executives don t need to know the legal doctrine underlying a major Supreme Court decision or the mechanics of double-entry bookkeeping. They do, however, need to know how to make decisions based on financial reports. They, as just one example, must also know the basic steps that they should take in setting the executive director s compensation without running afoul of tax rules or state regulatory requirements. Jack has a national reputation for his ability to draw practical lessons from court rulings, legal disputes, regulatory investigations, and current developments in the nonprofit sector. Jack publishes two or three case studies each week on his blog. With well over 500 cases to date, Jack has developed a database of cases that he draws from for his presentations. As a consequence, Jack s presentations are rooted in what is actually happening in the nonprofit world and the very real problems that other nonprofits have experienced. Jack s audiences learn from the mistakes that other organizations have made. MECHANICS: Jack has assembled 1,500 PowerPoint slides that he draws from when putting together a presentation. Many of these slides contain diagrams in a continuing effort to avoid text-based slides. Jack tends to speak extemporaneously rather than relying on a point-by-point progression through the slides. He has assembled the slides because audiences now expect visuals and they do serve as an outline that each audience member can take back to the office. Jack provides a pdf version of his slides and supplemental material to the conference or meeting organizations. He grants them a onetime license to distribute these materials (at their expense) in paper form to each registered conference or meeting participant. Further redistribution of the material is prohibited. Jack asks that the organization provide a projector, but he brings his own laptop. He prefers a lavalier wireless microphone and does not like podiums, which he believes create a barrier between himself and the audience. Except for the projector, Jack is more than willing to work with the resources that are readily available to the organization. GENERAL BACKGROUND: Jack is an attorney (Illinois and Wisconsin) and CPA (Wisconsin), holding an LLM in Taxation from New York University and a Masters of
2 Jack B. Siegel Page 2 of 7 Management from Northwestern University s Kellogg School of Management. Jack currently provides consulting services to nonprofits through Charity Governance Consulting LLC. He focuses on board and staff training, governance, financial management, record retention, and special projects. Jack has previously practiced law as a partner in the tax department of a major American law firm, served as assistant general counsel to a nonprofit low-income housing tax credit syndicator, and developed computer-based training software for lawyers, financial professionals, and nonprofits. Jack is the author of A DESKTOP GUIDE FOR NONPROFIT DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND ADVISORS: AVOIDING TROUBLE WHILE DOING GOOD (Wiley 2006), a comprehensive 744-page book addressing the legal, financial, tax, regulatory, and governance issues facing nonprofit boards and senior officers. He also maintains a highly-regarded blog, accessible at Jack is a frequent speaker and lecturer at nonprofit conferences throughout the United States. PUBLIC SPEAKING BACKGROUND: Jack has been an active public speaker for the last 23 years. He has spoken to audiences as small as five people and to groups numbering over 750. Jack has developed innovative learning experiences, including role playing, simulations, and Phil Donahue-style group discussions. Jack has conducted allday seminars for the AICPA, presented at American Bar Association Tax Section meetings, developed and presented an all-day conference on nonprofits and political activity as part of a series of emerging issues conferences sponsored jointly by Harvard University s Hauser Center and the Urban Institute, served as the keynote speaker for the National Association of Attorneys General National Association of State Charity Officials annual conference, and taught governance best practices to Singapore regulators and charity officials. Jack is a frequent source for members of the national media. He has also appeared on television and radio. CONTACT INFORMATION: Jack and Charity Governance Consulting LLC are located in Chicago, Illinois. Telephone: jbsiegel@charitygovernance.com Web site: CORE PRESENTATION: Jack prefers to work with groups using a four to seven hour block of time. Jack frequently speaks at conferences as part of one-hour panels. He has found that these short sessions tend to be good for touching on basic issues, but do not permit him to address the specifics in detail. Jack s Core Presentation and three Supplemental Presentations are described in the Appendix to this overview.
3 Jack B. Siegel Page 3 of 7 OTHER TOPICS: Jack currently teaches the law course in Spertus College s Master of Science in Nonprofit Management program. He has also spoken on a wide-variety of specialized topics. Consequently, Jack is in a position to speak to groups on a number of other topics outside of his Core and Supplemental Presentations, including lobbying and advocacy by nonprofits, legal aspects of special events, basic employment law, and virtually any topic pertaining to taxation. During the next several months, Jack is scheduled to make several presentations on the new Form 990 and the steps tax-exempt entities should be taking now to deal with this massive overhaul of the tax return and disclosure filing. CUSTOMIZATION: As should be apparent, Jack can customize his presentations to meet the needs of any organization or group. Jack recently spoke in Singapore concerning best governance practices. Jack customized his presentation to incorporate recent Singapore governance legislation and a semi-voluntary set of best practices guidelines issued by an advisory group to the government. Jack has also recently developed twelve case studies for an organization that advises social services agencies throughout the country. Jack will be presenting those case studies in a three-hour workshop this June. FEE AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS: Jack bases his rate on the length of the presentation and the amount of customization required. He speaks throughout the country, which often requires travel by air. From his standpoint, that means that a fullday presentation is not much different than an hour or half-day presentation in terms of the time commitment required to make the presentation (excluding prep time). Consequently, organizations receive more value for their dollar by using Jack for a fullday rather than a half-day or two-hour presentation. In addition to a fee, Jack requires reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses. He flies coach and works to keep his out-of-pocket expenses down.
