Each session will be able to be attended as a stand alone offering but attendance at all five sessions will be encouraged. The goal of the series is to familiarize attendees with the process of creating a nonprofit organization including necessary paperwork to be submitted, the rationale for the creation of the organization, and the first steps including drafting a mission statement and choosing board members and operational planning for the future.

SESSION 01: So You Are Thinking About Starting a Nonprofit Organization

This session will involve conversations with the participants as to what their ideas are for the nonprofits they want to create, why they want to do this, what their leadership experience has been including fund-raising, whether they have investigated the need for this type of organization, who will the nonprofit serve and what they want to accomplish.
