December 1, 2010 - Everything Congregational Leaders Need to Know About Rabbinic Discretionary Funds
Rabbinical discretionary funds have recently been in the news because of improper use. In this webinar, we'll discuss best practices regarding how rabbinical discretionary funds work. This webinar is jointly sponsored by the Union for Reform Judaism (Union) and the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR).
The moderator will be Rabbi Steven Fox, Executive Vice
President of the CCAR. The 2 panelists will be Professor Arthur Gross-Schaefer,
Chair of the Department of Marketing and Business Law at Loyola Marymount
University and Edward Burger, a CPA and Managing Partner of Cohen, Burger,
Schwartz & Sax, an accounting and business consulting firm in Fairfield, CT,
as well as a current member of the Union Board of Trustees.

It might be helpful to refer to those funds as "Clergy Discretionary funds," as cantors often have similar funds that are subject to the same legal/tax implications...
