Join ASA on April 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET for a free virtual webinar, "Associations at Risk: 2025 Tax Reform Implications." This session will address the significant tax reform threat facing associations and nonprofits as key provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are set to expire in 2025. Some lawmakers propose applying the 21% corporate tax rate to all tax-exempt organizations, which could result in new taxes on membership dues, sponsorships, investment income, and educational program revenue. ASAE experts Mary Kate Cunningham, CAE, and Kyle Hayes will explore the policy landscape, potential impacts, and steps to protect the association community. Register today
