6 members of the Steering Committee met on Monday the 12th to discuss the following: a Group invitation to be mailed to nonprofits in the region; committees for the Group; and program topic areas. The committee discussed a letter of invitation that will be sent out shortly. The letter will invite all nonprofit executive directors in the region to join the South Central NY Nonprofit Executive Directors Group, and collect their contact information. The letter will also ask directors to select their top choice of 3-5 topic areas for a fall program meeting. Finally, the letter will announce the development of four committees for the Group (Steering, Membership, Program, and Special Projects) and invite directors to join. While this letter is being finalized, the Committee will continue to move forward on beginning to collect initial economic impact data from nonprofits in the region. An e-mail will be sent out to the Group asking for the following information:
- Name of nonprofit
- Name of Executive Director
- Type of organization (Arts and Culture, Museum, Social and Human Service, Education, Religious or faith based, etc)
- Total number of people who were employed on your payroll during the fiscal year
- Business dollars your organization spent in this region. This information should be available from your accounts payable or check register. Every dollar you spent to purchase goods or services has a compounded positive impact on the local economy.
- Total payroll taxes generated (State and Federal)
- Other taxes collected (Sales tax as an example)
