I would like everyone to look at Maryland Nonprofits, the organization Mera has been talking to recently. GCFCG found
them and they sound like a promising way to move forward on some of the motions
we have on the floor. They are very reasonably priced and might be a
good resource for our much needed legal documents, finding B&O insurance,
and for connecting with other nonprofits. I'm also fine with making a motion,
if necessary, to use them.

They look very helpful, but do they handle international wording? Our whole
thing here is to remember we have members/chapters/conventions in Canada that
do not use some of our MD laws/phrasing.

I’ve talked with their general counsel and with one of the consultants, and
several of their clients are international in nature. They indicated
that our needs are not outside of their scope.

Good to know

That’s what it looked like to me. We have something like that here in VA and
they can handle it too. Idk if that’s normal or just a “due to DC Adjacent”…
The nonprofits I’ve worked with in other states we’re not international in
nature so I don’t know about elsewhere.

Judy I would definitely recommend looking around their website when you have
time and you can always call them and ask your questions if you really wanted
something answer… They seem like a pretty solid group.
