No Good Deed Should Be Fraught With Peril
Many of us gladly contribute our time to not-for-profit entities, sometimes making tough decisions with big consequences. Do you know the ramifications of such a decision-gone-bad? Can they come back to haunt you personally? We’ll discuss common-law and statutory duties, requirements and areas of potential liability for directors and leaders of not-for-profit entities so that you and your board can lead with confidence. |

Apr 11 Nashville recording artist Steve Everett with special guest Will Jones |
Join us for a night of incredible live music once again at Blueridge Rock School. We are very excited to announce that Nashville recording artist Steve Everett will be playing our next Listening Room concert this Friday evening with very special guest Will Jones (if you saw or heard about Will's show, then you know you will want to see this!)
Show starts at 7pm so get there early for a chair.
Here is a little about what Shout! Magazine had to say about Steve Everett...
“Steve Everett comes to life on stage. Watching him start his set is like going home after a long day. He absolutely lives and breathes his music...which is great, because it's WONDERFUL. He's like a more powerful Tom Petty, blending airy melodies with strong guitar riffs and soaring chorus lines. His songs are catchy and fun like the songs we all grew up listening to, yet they're so strong lyrically that you're left feeling satisfied on so many levels. Steve Everett is the next big thing. Get on the train early so you don't kick yourself later.”
— Jade Wilton, Shout! Magazine
You can sample some of Steve's music here @ SteveEverett.net
