2016 - BC Societies Act Changes Seminar -- What It Means For Your Organization

Description

Do you represent a non-profit organization or volunteer with one? Did you know that changes to the BC Societies Act are coming into force this year which require new governance procedures and greater regulatory requirements for many charities and societies? 

Join the Burnaby Board of Trade and representatives from Miller Thomson LLP as we explore the changes to the BC Societies Act coming into force later this year, and what they mean for BC's non-profit organizations.

Our presenters will cover the key changes under the new act and provide information on how they may affect your not-for-profit and charitable organization. This seminar will assist with understanding your transition requirements and how to prepare for the new act.
