WORKSHOP FOR BUILDING TREASURERS
Wednesday, June 27, 2018

Location to be announced
Treasurers are responsible for the financial health of their cooperatives
and condominiums. This task has diverse ramifications--all are potential
discussion topics at the Treasurers' Workshop, conducted periodically by
CNYC. This is not a 'how-to' presentation, but rather an opportunity for
treasurers to 'talk shop' under the guidance of Rick Montanye of the
accounting firm of Marin & Montanye. Issues raised brought by
participants set the agenda. Treasurers (and other board members) of
CNYC member cooperatives and condominiums attend at no cost, but
advanced registration is required. Non-members are very welcome at a
fee of $50, payable in advance. Reserve your place by calling CNYC at
(212) 496-7400 or register by e-mail to workshops@CNYC.coop. To pay

ONBOARDING NEW BOARD MEMBERS
Wednesday, July 25, 2018
7:00 PM
Location to be announced
Newly elected board members need solid instruction and training to understand
their roles and fiduciary duties. Operating a co-op or condo involves many of the
same responsibilities as any other business, yet board members are volunteers
who may not have experience in such matters. A proactive approach to
onboarding new members sets the tone and positions the entire board for
success. Management companies are an important partner in empowering new
board members and helping them learn the ropes. Management Executive Dan
Wurtzel will walk participants through best practices of onboarding new members
.There is no fee for representatives of CNYC, FNYHC, CAI and ARC member
cooperatives and condominiums to attend this session ; others are welcome at a
fee of $50 if paid in advance or $75 at the door. Advance reservations are
required. Call the CNYC office at (212) 496-7400 or send e-mail to
workshops@CNYC.coop to reserve your place.
