Attention General Managers, Managing Directors, Artistic Directors:
TAPA is providing a workshop specifically developed for you as arts professionals to understand the changes required by the Ontario Nonprofit Incorporation Act. More specifically, how these changes could affect your organization through the changes required to your bylaws and Articles of Incorporation without consideration of your artistic purpose.
The TAPA ONCA Compliancy Review for Non-Profits workshop provides an opportunity to utilize the new ONCA legislation as a way to ensure your bylaws and Articles of Incorporation are not only in alignment with ONCA’s new regulations, but also with your current artistic vision, mission and culture. The Workshop will review some of the key changes in the ONCA bylaws and what impact they might have to provide you with some guidance as you go through the process of amending your bylaws by the deadline of October 24, 2024.
There will be opportunities for you to ask questions throughout the workshop. Resources will be provided to all attendees at the end.
TAPA is pleased to offer a number of financial literacy workshops as part of the Money Matters series in the TAPA Trade Series B Stream. TAPA has partnered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on this series.
