Impact Ops Forum

Programming for legal ops professionals in nonprofit, higher education, government, and associations

This forum provides a dedicated space for legal operations professionals working in association, nonprofit, government, and higher education organizations to connect, learn, and collaborate around their unique challenges and opportunities.
