The Workshop
The New Societies Act: Making the Transition
Wednesday, December 14, 2016
9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Alliance boardroom
There are more than 27,000 non-profit societies in BC, providing services and programs that touch virtually every citizen. The BC Society Act, which provides the rules for governance and incorporation of non-profits, is set for important changes. The official proclamation of the new Societies Act will likely take place in fall 2016, and there will be a two year transition period by which time all societies in BC will have to make the switch to the new Act.
Building on the basic framework of the Legal Pitfalls workshop The New Societies Act: What You Need to Know, this second level workshop will demonstrate the mechanics of the transition and will address the key bylaw changes that may be required by societies under the new Societies Act. Workshop attendees will also be introduced to the new BC Registries and Online Services website.
The Facilitator: Martha Rans is the Legal Director of Pacific Legal Education Outreach Society (PLEO), which operates Artists’ Legal Outreach and Law for Nonprofits programs. She has been practicing law in British Columbia since 1997, and works extensively with arts organizations, non-profit societies and visual and multimedia digital artists.
