Foundation Experience
Supporting tomorrow’s leaders. We help students from the Washington, D.C. area pursue their educational goals through the FCBA Foundation College Scholarship program. We also assist law students with tuition scholarships and stipends for otherwise unpaid summer internships in technology, communications, and telecommunications law and policy.
Foundation Articles of Incorporation
The FCBA elections will open next week. This year, the ballot will include a question regarding updates to the FCBA Foundation’s Articles of Incorporation.
The FCBA Foundation’s original Articles of Incorporation constitute the foundational legal document that formally established the organization in 1991. Any changes or updates are adopted through a formal amendment process that supplements the original Articles, typically in the form of an exhibit. This approach ensures continuity of the organization’s legal identity and adherence to applicable nonprofit governance requirements.
The original Articles of Incorporation were reviewed by outside legal counsel, the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, the FCBA Executive Committee, and the FCBA Constitution and Bylaws Committee. Exhibit A is being presented to the voting members of the FCBA Foundation for approval.
