2026 Nonprofit Credential in Human Resources

August 19, 2026 9:30 AM - August 20, 2026 3:30 PM (MDT)

Description

You want to do everything you can to make sure your organization and employees are protected. Are you confident that your Human Resources policies and practices are legal, equitable, and fully able to protect your mission? While mission and community are the primary focus of nonprofits, people management and compliance with federal and state law are critical and no less demanding for today's successful nonprofit.

The Nonprofit Credential in Human Resources (HR) gives you the tools—and expert advice in how to use them—to implement best practices in HR at your nonprofit. The course will demonstrate how to adapt your HR policies to comply with changing laws and will provide a framework for staying current in the evolving HR landscape.

What You’ll Gain:

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of key employment and discrimination laws relevant to an organization’s size —and how to implement them effectively
  • Practical guidance for creating or refining personnel policies and handbooks that keep you compliant and confident
  • Gain critical insight into employee recruitment best practices, learn new methods to retain and motivate employees
  • Leave with a toolkit for performance appraisals that drive performance

Ready to empower your team and create an organization where people thrive? Let’s make it happen.

Upon completion, your organization will earn the UNA Human Resources Badge, a mark of excellence to share with your network and show the world you’re serious about making an impact.

Subject Matter Expert:

Brit Merrill is an employment attorney at Holland & Hart who has spent her career doing one thing really well—helping managers and organizations build workplaces that work. But more than that, she's built a practice on being a trusted partner to her clients, helping them navigate the messy, complicated, and sometimes downright weird world of employment law before it becomes a crisis.

Brit brings a background that makes her uniquely suited to work with nonprofits. Before going to law school, she spent a decade as a community organizer—so she understands the mission-driven environment, the resource constraints, and the people-first culture that defines nonprofit work. That experience shapes how she practices law: practical, plain-spoken, and focused on giving organizations real tools they can actually use.

Her counsel covers the full spectrum of employment law, including compensation, performance management, separations, leaves of absence, discrimination and harassment, handbook policies, wage and hour compliance, and employee classification. When workplace issues do arise, Brit also conducts and advises on workplace investigations. She monitors employment law developments at the federal, state, and local levels so her clients don't have to.

When she's not navigating employment law, she plays the banjo, raises chickens, and lifts heavy weights.
