Join the Conversation - The Charities Amendment Bill

It will require changes to charity reporting, compliance and governance.

Date: November 2
Time: 12.30pm - 2pm
Venue: On zoom or at 3 Gibbons Road, Takapuna.

A light lunch will be provided at the venue.

You will learn:

* Some of the key change

* Why it is important for charities

* How to have you say and contribute to the discussion

* Practical tips for writing a submission

* Discussion and the opportunity for organisations to collaborate on a joint submission

The workshop will be led by Sandy Thompson (LEAD).

Brought to you by Auckland North Community and Development.
