Below are the notes and proposed plan for Fall/Winter 2013-2014 Winter/Spring.
October - Candidates Forum (looking into teaming with the Rotary Club event already scheduled, with the ED's as invited guests)
The format allows questions from the group to be posed to the candidates by those in attendance.
Early December - Health Care Bill impact on Non-profits - Are you ready for January implementation? - Held a BC Library
Similar presentation hosted by Chamber - Lourdes presentation
Feb/Early March - Community Spot Light/Mixer - Opportunity to spot light a local non-profit (Goodwill Theater suggested) and to come together in a Mixer format.
Also suggested to have a brief presentation on the impact of the Charities Bill (Maybe Doug Saur - NYCON) if it has been passed or another timely topic that will draw interest.
April/Early May - Fiscal Accountability/Theft Prevention Focus presentation - Who holds the keys to your cash box? (not official title) presented by auditor/lawyer etc...
Hosted at BC library or potential web based presentation.
Also Discussed -
Joe spoke to Tina Barber of the Community Foundation and she offered to provide the areas of interest covered in mini grants over the last few years giving us an idea of the needs of local NP's. This can help guide some or our planning for the rest of 2014.
Andrew suggested a mini grant application for the development of a simple web site that could allow us to list information about upcoming events and allow local non-profit ED's to list their organizations mission statements, contact information, and areas of interest in collaborating, to assist with mission matching for grants or other programs. It would be the responsibility of the individual organizations to maintain their information. Potential internship opportunity or project for BU class group focused on Website design. Joe is putting together the mini grant application.
Creation of a standard press release for upcoming SCNY-ED events to encourage participation.
Should have next set of 4 events scheduled to present at the Feb Mixer.
Next meeting scheduled for Sept 5th 12:30 pm - Meeting Room - Denny's Vestal Parkway by BU.
