The discussion will address how the Act came to be enacted (including, in the process, common questions about the Act and benefit corporation legislation generally), clarify director duties and other governance matters under the Act, make observations about the possible advantages in organizing a social enterprise business as a Tennessee for-profit benefit corporation, and offer advice about drafting organizational documents under the Act.
