Drafting a charter and lining up the legal ducks...

We have had our first GSDA mtg since returning from Spring Break and the ADEA meeting in Denver. The discussion was quite lively around next steps to create a national organization and the two outstanding events we have coming up.  

On the creation of the national organization front we have three of us that have agreed to lead the drafting of a charter for others to vett and edit when we meet as a larger group in Long Beach March 2017. It is also clear that we need the correct non-profit status and legal counsel to ensure our ducks are in a row. To that end I've reached out to BALIF for a probono assist. That ball is rolling, and there should be an update soon. Stay tuned. 

Keeping momentum

Back a few days from the push in Denver and as the dust begins to settle I find myself reviewing potential next steps to ensure we don't lose the amazing momentum.  

I managed to get a reference for an attorney to consult with regarding the necessary steps to create a national organization, such as non-profit status and drafting a charter. Feels good to have that step somewhat underway.  

Heading to a meeting now to delineate what other action items we have pending from Denver. So stay tuned.  

Whatever you may do, do NOT hesitate to jump aboard, as we have plenty of opportunity to share in making this happen.
