I am finally done with the final drafts for Dogs of a Good Society's Article of Incorporations, Bylaws, and Mission statement. I think I must of went through several drafts of each and feel pretty good about this last one, well not last, because I am sure my mentor/non profit attonery is going to make several corrections.... The joys of it all...but it is worth it. And this part is somewhat fun, because it is a different challenge for me. Who knew I could write in this fashion! It's been a learning experience and best of all there are several helpful resources out there like http://www.irs.gov/charities/
For you veterans out there who already have all this done and are established I would love to hear your input on this phase of the process. Right now for me I kind of feel like an island hoping someone will come travel my way to say 'hi!' or even to find me! :) Every day I go to my new job and say to myself "I did the right thing to quit my career to be able to work on D.O.G.S, focus on the big picture" and every day it gets easier. It's been an adjustment period, though I am grateful for my new position which is less emotionally intensive, however is a complete 180 from what I have been doing for years (social services)! All things come with time they say. Luckily I have learned to be oh so patient over the years with my professional life :) Here goes it! Meeting with mentor scheduled. Until then...Board of Directors assertive recruitment must start.
Until next time everyone, have a fantastic time! :) Thanks for following, spread the word, would love to hear from you!
Sincerely,
Love animals!
