Chat with the Board Series: Michael B. Dorff and Summer Brown

Join B Academics for our Chat with the Board series!

Join us for a conversation between B Academics President Summer Brown, JD, and Professor Michael Dorff, JD,  the Michael & Jessica Downer Endowed Chair at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles to discuss his new book, “Becoming a Public Benefit Corporation: Express Your Values, Energize Stakeholders, Make the World a Better Place”. 

Published by Stanford Press, this book sheds light on the legal framework and operational dynamics of benefit corporations and public benefit corporations in the United States. In particular, Professor Dorff analyzes the enforcement mechanisms of benefit corporations, emphasizing the need to strengthen these to prevent ‘purpose washing’ – the risk of companies claiming social responsibility without substantive action.

Special offer: Participants can receive a 20% discount on Michael’s book if they order from Stanford’s website (www.sup.org) and use the code DORFF20
