Nonprofits can now take advantage of saving real money by eliminating unnecessary costs associated with:
- Investing in hardware and software

Dealing with Employee Issues BEFORE They Become a Big Problem
November 10, 2010, 9:00-11:00AM
Free.
Presenter: Linda Pappajohn, Director of HR Consulting Services, Santora CPA Group, Newark, DE
Often the small issues or annoyances with employees that you ignore can take on a life of their own. Many times each issue by itself doesn’t seem to be a big deal, after all, you’re busy with other more important things, and you hope it will just go away.
Unfortunately, some employee problems that start out small can take on a life of their own and become a really Big Deal that requires a whole lot of your attention. (Interesting how ignoring something –i.e. tardiness, dress code violations, personal cell phone abuse - can make it escalate, isn’t it?)
Linda will cover many real life examples and how to deal with them. You will learn what employee policies are “must-have’s” and when and how to actually document an employee’s performance. She’ll provide tips on what to say in a “corrective action” meeting with a problem employee. And, you’ll find out when it is ok to terminate someone.
As the Director of Santora CPA Group’s HR Consulting Services, Linda has helped many companies put into place policies that make management’s life easier and keeps your organization compliant with all the various regulations. She also serves as the “sounding board” and voice of reason for Executive Directors to talk with when faced with difficult employee situations.

Fundraising Regulations
John D. Baker,CFRE, MPA - DANA Executive Director
Did you know that the state requires a permit for charitable poker tournaments, raffles, bingo, or other similar events? Do you know what forms you are required to make available for public inspection? Are you soliciting in more than one state? In this training, you will learn how to make sure your fundraising efforts are above board and legal, complying with an extensive array of federal, state, and local laws. We’ll discuss tax deductibility, giving receipts, and required disclosure statements on solicitations. You’ll leave with “Disclose It!”, DANA’s packet of information on fundraising rules and regulations.
