Anthony Mancuso Attorney - Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records

Description

Nonprofit? Stay out of IRS trouble with the ultimate corporate housekeeping tool!
Nearly 1.5 million nonprofit organizations are busy preserving historic sites, saving libraries, helping the homeless, greening our cities- and so much more. Yet, while some have sophisticated record-keeping systems, most nonprofits are staffed by volunteers who need help running the organization and keeping up a proper -- and legal --paper trail.
Help has arrived! With Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records, you'll get the all-in-one solution every nonprofiteer needs to hold meetings and document actions taken by board members.
Step by step, it walks readers through:
calling meetings appointing officers taking minutes making resolutions voting on proposals adjourning meetings working with a lawyer, if necessary, and finding a tax adviser. Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records also provides useful tips and advice on how to do important tasks, such as organizing records, preparing meeting folders, and taking minutes. Plus, all necessary documents are included on the CD-ROM. It's everything you need to keep your nonprofit running smoothly and legally.

This book is packed with essential information you will need to run a nonprofit. The NOLO name is highly respected for resources of this sort. I have found all of their material to be of high quality. Out of the available books that cover this subject matter, this is clearly one of the best.Summary: Nice simple primerRating: 5This is a great primer for legal aspects of running your non-profit. It is very well organized, with short chapters and sample text for documents. It includes state by state section as well. Great reference guide.Summary: Required minimal education for nonprofitsRating: 4If you are starting a non-profit, are in charge of the paperwork, or have to chair a meeting or any of the other numerous activities then you will appreciate Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records (How to Run Your Nonprofit Corporation So You Don't Run Into Trouble). Written at a very basic level the authors explain not only what needs to be done but why it needs to be done and how to go about it. So many small non-profits don't follow the laws well and when a problem comes up find themselves with multiple legal problems. This book helps prevent most of those most common situations. If you are looking for a book about various legal aspects of the nonprofit world then this is not the book for you. The niche that this book fills is providing the instructions and paperwork for common tasks that are of a recurring nature. These include things like how to call a meeting so that it meets legal requirements, how to get a board of directors member proxy on a vote, things to consider when writing or amending by-laws, how to find competent legal counsel, and the myriad other day-to-day things of operating a nonprofit. I have personally been involved with many nonprofits over the years and can say that doing these things the way they should be done right from the beginning is critical. If they are not done right then resolutions can be overturned, officers removed, and individuals sued. Nonprofit Meetings, Minutes & Records (How to Run Your Nonprofit Corporation So You Don't Run Into Trouble) should be the required minimal reading for anyone involved in nonprofit organizations at this level and is well worth the cost of the book just to have the forms in one convenient place and ready to use. Summary: Vital for NonProfit OrganizationsRating: 4Nonprofit businesses and organizations are not always started by people with a background in business. They are stated by people who have a message and a vision, and want to spread that message to others. They are people who see a need and want to help, who are more interested in supporting the cause than making a profit. They don't have a business background, and that can get them into trouble if they're not careful. This book won't tell you how to start your nonprofit business. It will tell you how to run your nonprofit effectively, and keep records so that you won't have problems later on. It's not a book to read cover to cover; it's a book to keep and refer back to as needed. But anyone who is running or considering starting a nonprofit organization needs this book.Summary: Great resource - not laden with legalese...phew!Rating: 5This book is well-laid out, starting with Housekeeping 101 as the first chapter, and ends with guidelines as a jumping off point (how to find a good tax advisor or lawyer). The appendixes are a great resource, as they give you tips on how to use the enclosed CD, contact information per state, and forms for the meetings and minutes. What especially drew me to this book were 2 things: 1. It is written by an attorney, but the reader doesn't get mired down with all the legalese that could be there. The format is easy to read, and also easy to implement with the CD of forms. 2. The book has been put out by NOLO, a great resource that I have used in the past. I first found them from a web search when I was hunting down appropriate paperwork to hire independent contractors. NOLO's mission got me: "Make the law as simple as possible, saving you time, money and headaches." That mission statement embodies what this book is about. This book is essential reading regarding how to stay on the good side of the IRS when running a non-profit.
