Not for Profit Conference 2013

I recently mentioned in an Admin Bandit blog post, details of the Third Sector Expo that takes place in Melbourne between 15 – 16 April.  Another event that you should consider attending is the Not for Profit Conference that is being run by CPA Australia.  This 2 day event will take place middle to late March in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Queensland.  Follow the link for more details including the cost, dates and location for each state.

The main focus of this conference relates to the changes that are taking place in the not for profit sector.  Representatives from the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Commission will provide valuable insights, advice and information that will help you adapt to many of the upcoming changes.  Whether you are a small community based organisation or an overseas international aid charity you need to be aware of these changes and how they impact on your organisation.

This conference will also have many workshops and speakers covering a range of topics including governance, raising funds when governments are reducing grants, financial reporting, FBT and salary packaging.  In addition, on the second day of the conference there is a workshop specifically focussed on the duties and legal responsibilities of officers and directors in the not for profit sector.

Follow the link to the Not for Profit Conference for more details and consider attending this worthwhile event.  For a volunteer treasurer or a committee of management member, this conference will not only provide a range of valuable resources and information but the opportunity to meet others in the not for profit sector so you can build your network.
