Nonprofit Revitalization Act Compliance Plan Available

New York State Nonprofit Revitalization Act:  Remedial Action Plan for Compliance  [Updated] $300 for Nonprofit Members of NYCON.  Purchase includes one hour of implementation assistance. In December 2014, the Governor signed the Nonprofit Revitalization Actinto law. It is the first major revision of New York State Not-for-Profit Corporation Law (NFPCL) in over 40 years and most of its provisions took effect July 1, 2014. The Act comprehensively reformed the NFPCL and had a significant impact on the governance policies and practices of the state's nonprofits. In order to comply with the new laws, the vast majority of nonprofits still need to amend their bylaws and/or revise or adopt new policies. What is Included in the Remedial Action Plan for Compliance and How Can it Help Our Nonprofit? In order to help ensure that member nonprofits are in statutory compliance in an expedient way, NYCON prepared the Remedial Action Plan for Corporate Compliance. The Plan provides a Resolution for the Board of Directors to adopt a "Statutory Compliance Article" as a bylaw amendment along with five accompanying policy documents to be attached as Appendices to the Bylaws. The Action Plan purchase also comes with one (1) free hour of implementation assistance (via phone) with a NYCON staff member. Appendices Included in the Plan: Bylaws and Corporate Policy Definitions Board of Directors Conflict of Interest Policy Code of Ethical Conduct and Annual Potential Conflicts Disclosure Statement Whistleblower Protection Policy Audit Oversight Policy This resource is available to current nonprofit members of NYCON.

If you are unsure of your membership status, please contact us.  Update on Bylaw Review Services: NYCON Members can now have their bylaws reviewed and revised for compliance with the new Nonprofit Revitalization Act as well as for other areas of improvement, including best practices. Learn More.   If you are interested in receiving a bylaw review, we encourage you to please inquire soon as our volume of requests is very high. We will prepare a quote at no charge. To do so, we will need to ask you a few questions about your existing policies and procedures -- as well as take a look at your current set of bylaws.To receive a quote for a Bylaw Review please click here and fill out our questionnaire. Legal Reminder and Disclaimer:   The documents provided in the Remedial Action Plan for Corporate Compliance are aimed at assisting not-for-profits to be minimally compliant to the Act in bylaw and policy statements. Please be reminded that every Board of Directors has a fiduciary obligation to ensure that bylaw and policy statements are properly and consistently carried out in practice.  We encourage all users of this material to obtain qualified legal counsel and, where appropriate, guidance from a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to advise in any modification and to specifically identify what other provisions in the Act may mean for your organization.   Please read the NYCONEnd User License Agreement before completing your purchase.

The Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is a very pragmatic and easily understood system 
designed to turn the challenging child around to a new pattern of success. The approach has 
been found to produce substantial success in helping children flourish at higher than 
expected levels of achievement. The NHA teaches significant adults how to positively 
support experiences of success in children while not accidentally energizing their 
experiences with failure. NHA offers a means of adult-child communication that results in an 
increased pattern of positive interactions which promotes a sense of healing and healthier 
relationships. The Nurtured Heart Approach will teach you how to stop nagging, lecturing, 
yelling, and feeling overwhelmed with parenting and help you build solid, and respectful 
relationships with your children. The Nurtured Heart Approach will benefit children in all 
ages and stages from the easy going child to the strong-willed and intense child.

children/youth in your life
