CELEBRATING 20 YEARS
You are cordially invited to join Michigan Community Resources in celebrating its 20th Anniversary building strong communities through strong organizations, strong leaders, and a strong nonprofit network. Our Homecoming & Community Reunion will take place at The Eastern in Eastern Market on Thursday, October 4, 2018, from 7 to 11 p.m. The evening will feature a strolling dinner provided by local food trucks, live entertainment, and a community bonfire.

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT
Michigan Community Resources advances the missions of Michigan nonprofit organizations that serve low income individuals and communities through pro bono and low cost legal and other professional services, organizational development, and trusted guidance.
We envision strong Michigan communities built on strong organizations, strong leaders, and a strong nonprofit network.
Upcoming Events
Nonprofit organizations need protection from risks and accidents, both expected and unexpected. It’s important to be able to focus on your mission, knowing that you have the right insurance policies in place. This seminar will present legal and practical issues confronting nonprofits when they seek insurance coverage and assert claims under their insurance policies. The panelists’ practices include advising and representing nonprofits and other policyholders on a variety of insurance claims. They will discuss how to assess what risks insurance will cover, and will review basic differences among various types of insurance policies. They also will cover common pitfalls in choosing insurance policies that are appropriate for community-based organizations.
Speakers will include Scott Konrad of Hub International, and Teresa Lewi and Russell Squire of Covington & Burling LLP.
