Annual Report Filing Requirement Info Session

Pennsylvania made significant amendments to its nonprofit corporation law in November 2022, and in 2025, one of the most major and impactful of those changes – the new annual report filing requirement – will have taken effect and can impact nonprofits that fail to comply by June 30, 2025. For libraries in Pennsylvania, this requirement presents many questions. This virtual training session, designed specifically for the libraries who are members of the Allegheny County Library Association, will help demystify the rules. Libraries will not want to miss out on this legal briefing about these major changes and other helpful legal reminders for libraries.
