Lemire, President and Founder of Lemire, LLC; Jon Olson, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Blackbaud; Sean Renshaw, former federal agent and currently Director of the Digital Forensics & Investigations Practice at Stout Risius Ross; and Andy Wilson, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Logikcull, share their advice for conducting internal investigations. Editor-in-Chief Adam Schlagman serves as the Moderator.

Blackbaud, Inc. provides management software, services, expertise, and data intelligence for nonprofits, foundations, corporations, and educational institutions.
