Coming up Tuesday, July 27th
We know that running a nonprofit takes a lot of work, and keeping up with everything can be incredibly difficult. Nobody enjoys the day when they go to the mailbox and find a letter informing them that they have been chosen for an examination by the Secretary of State’s office. The time to prepare for that is not when it happens. Please join us for this vital training to demystify the examination process and ensure that if the day comes, you are already prepared for success when you get that letter.
