Election of Officers!

We're in Redding, California right now and have finally had a chance to sit down and talk about a few official things for Dreem Reality. The goal was to have the Articles of Incorporation ready to be sent out by the beginning of 2009. Which we do! However, the book we are reading ("How to Form a Nonprofit Corporation in California") has suggested to also have the Bylaws ready so that we have some idea of our responsibilities before we commit to incorporation.

Today we were able to accomplish a few major goals! We have determined the offices as well as fleshed out a majority of the Bylaws. The only thing missing from the bylaws is to create the finalized "statement of purpose", which is a bit more detailed than the one for the Articles of Incorporation. Once we have that we'll be done with the Bylaws. Then it seems the next step is to fill in the application for Tax Exempt Status. Once we have that ready, I will fill confident in sending in the Articles of Incorporation. My goal is to have that completed by the end of this week.

So, that means that we have our new President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer! Being that the same person can hold multiple positions, except that the President can NOT be the same person as the Secretary and Treasurer that has meant that our officers are:

President: Phoenix
Vice President: Dani
Secretary: Dani
Treasurer: Dani

The Secretarial and Treasurer duties are more my thing than hers at this time. We have decided that at the annual meeting on May 5th, 2010 we will re-evaluate the positions if we have new directors to fill the spot of Treasurer and Secretary.

Hooray! Big step today!

One of my first acts of Treasurer will be to get a Quicken account set up for the non-profit. Which I'll probably go work on now.
