CHAT TRANSCRIPT

Main topics we looked into:

  3. 501(c)3 issues, tax deductions and reporting
  4. Your legal and financial relationships with your center’s corporation and board of directors
  5. Succession – what happens to your sangha’s physical property and assets after you’re gone?
  6. History of White Plum Asanga’s legal relationship with our membership. Past attempts to be regulatory evolving to today’s explicit structure as a non-certifying, affinity organization of peers.
