CYSA to Work with Pro Bono Partnership
CYSA will work with the Pro Bono Partnership to obtain legal services to review the Association by-laws. The Pro Bono Partnership is a non-profit organization that provides free "expert business legal advice" to other non-profits for "services they cannot otherwise afford, enhancing their capacity to improve local communities and provide essential programs for the poor and disadvantaged." The Partnership will identify an attorney who would be willing to work with a Governance Committee consisting of CYSA Board members. The attorney, together with the Governance Committee, will examine the by-laws for clarity and compliance with state statutes and to make recommendations to the Board for any revisions.
