• Bring Your Own Bylaws: ONCA Compliance Workshop – Part 2

    October 24, 2023

    Online

    Webinar
    10-12pm ET

    Ontario’s Not-for-profit Corporations Act (ONCA) was proclaimed on October 19, 2021. Nonprofits have until October 18, 2024 to update their bylaws and letters patent to comply with ONCA.

    Join your association peers at Part One of this two-part practical series where you will work through your bylaws and letters patent and a special workbook to identify what you might want or need to change in order to comply with ONCA.

    Part Two will be focused on Board of Directors and Board Meetings

    Please note that this session will not be recorded.

    Participants are advised to review your governing documents ahead of time to be somewhat familiar with the layout and content. You must bring a digital or physical copy of your bylaws and (preferably) letters patent. You will be provided with a workbook prior to the session that will help guide your work.

    This session is for:

    • Senior leaders
    • Board members
    • Anyone involved in the corporate governance of organizations already incorporated under Ontario’s Corporations Act or a special Act.

    This session is not for:

    • Organizations that are not themselves incorporated but part of a larger organization or government,
    • Organizations incorporated under Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act,
    • Organizations incorporated under Co-operative Corporations Act, or
    • Other statutes outside of Ontario.

    You can register for Part 1 (October 17) and Part 2 (October 24) or attend either session based on your organizational needs. Part 1 will focus on members and member meetings, whereas Part 2 will focus on boards and board meetings.
