Prepare your organization for the upcoming provincial changes.
If you are a leader, volunteer, board member or committee member of a Non-Profit organization, this is the essential event to attend. Join us for a day of interactive learning designed to equip you with practical knowledge, tools, and strategies to enhance your organization’s governance structure, transparency, strategic planning, and overall effectiveness, ensuring a lasting impact.
Benjamin Miller of Non-Profit Law Ontario will present the “Board Governance” session and facilitate the “Bring Your Own By-Laws” Interactive Session. Participants will receive a special BYOB workbook to work through their by-laws and letters patent and identify what they might want or need to change to comply with ONCA. Ontario’s Not-for-profit Corporations Act (ONCA) was proclaimed on October 19, 2021. Non-Profits have until October 18, 2024, to update their bylaws and letters patent to comply with ONCA.
Karen Fischer from OMAFRA will lead the Session on “Strategic Planning 101” followed by an open-ended discussion. Karen will also provide an overview of OMAFRA’s “Train The Trainer” program that will begin in early 2024.
