Webinar Recording: Industry Fund Advanced Concepts and Common Issues

The second part of the webinar series is designed to educate chapter executives on best practices for industry fund administration.

Industry Fund Advanced Concepts and Common Issues is now available for viewing. This recorded presentation guides chapter executives and industry fund trustees on proper industry fund administration and permissible uses.

This webinar used real-world scenarios that industry fund managers and trustees typically experience to explain ideal fund management processes. Additionally, the following important issues were also discussed:

• How industry fund monies can be spent on out-of-the-box expenditures
• Industry fund collection and encouragement of nonmembers’ contributions
• Financial audits and reviews — when they are needed, and what should be shared
• Keeping association and industry fund operations separate

This webinar was led by Daniel Kelly, Attorney with Felhaber Larson, and Joye Blanscett, Executive Director of Operations with SMACNA. Click here to view the recording of this session and here to view part one of the series.
