September Workshop On The New Societies Act: What You Need To Know
/
Due to high demand, we're running another workshop session with Martha Rans of Pacific Legal Education Outreach Society on the New Societies Act.
THE WORKSHOP
The New Societies Act: What You Need To Know
Making The Transition
There are more than 27,000 non-profit societies in British Columbia. All of these organizations must “transition” to BC's new Societies Act following its proclamation, likely November 28, 2016.
All organizations that are incorporated under the current Society Act should be planning to complete their “transition application,” and make any changes to their constitution and bylaws, by the time of their 2017 AGM. This workshop will provide the information on the bylaw and policy changes necessary for your organization to effectively make the transition.
THE FACILITATOR
Martha Rans is the Legal Director of Pacific Legal Education Outreach Society (PLEO), which operates the 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.
