Georgetown Law Conference on Representing & Managing Tax-Exempt Organizations


Caroline D. Ciraolo will join a panel at Georgetown Law’s Conference on Representing & Managing Tax-Exempt Organizations, which will be held April 23-24, 2026, at the Capitol Hilton in Washington, D.C.

Caroline’s breakout panel is titled “The Range of IRS Enforcement Powers: Options and Application” and will be held on April 23 from 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. ET. The panel, which includes Meghan Biss of Loeb & Loeb and Randall Thomas of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, will explore the following topics:

  • Understanding the IRS enforcement lifecycle for tax-exempt organizations
  • Selected enforcement issues: appeals rights, procedural constraints, selective prosecution, and pre-enforcement relief
  • Staffing the right multi-disciplinary team to address complex enforcements involving other agencies, third-party summonses, etc.

The Tax Exempt Organization conference is designed to explore issues facing tax-exempt organizations as those organizations confront increasingly complex tax laws, regulatory requirements, and legal challenges. The conference serves as a vital forum for staying current with the latest developments. Attendees will hear directly from some of the nation’s foremost experts, including practitioners, scholars, and government officials who shape the policies and practices affecting nonprofit governance and compliance.

The program will cover a wide range of emerging issues from evolving IRS guidance and legislative updates to best practices in organizational management, risk mitigation, and strategic planning. Beyond its substantive sessions, the conference provides an exceptional opportunity for participants to connect with peers from hundreds of organizations, fostering collaboration, professional growth, and shared problem-solving within the broader nonprofit community.
