Document Retention and Destruction Policies for Nonprofits

October 17

Avoid the risks of ineffective or non-existent document retention and destruction policies and learn to develop strong policies.

Nonprofit leaders, their employees and Boards spend an overwhelming amount of time ensuring their organization’s mission is delivered effectively and their successes lead to long-term sustainability. Doing this work involves the accumulation, analysis and archiving massive amounts of data. How much time do these same leaders dedicate to effective storage, security and disposing of all this data? The answer is not enough, and the risks of loss, misuse or theft of data can lead to legal issues, loss of organizational reputation, public embarrassment and sometimes unrecoverable damage to the nonprofit. This presentation will help nonprofit leaders and those charged with the fiduciary duty of care to examine why effective document retention and destruction policies are a crucial element of organizational controls and mission delivery. Attendees will explore the risks of ineffective or non-existent document retention and destruction policies, learn to develop strong policies, implement them throughout the organization and structure tools for monitoring and adapting to the ever-changing landscape of data collection, storage, security and disposition.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to define what a document retention and destruction policy is.
  • You will be able to describe the legal and regulatory requirements for document retention and destruction.
  • You will be able to explain how to develop, implement and monitor a DR&D policy.
