The Bronx Forum at Hostos Community College Since 2002, the Bronx Forum has been a joint venture between Hostos Community College and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York’s Commission on Intergroup Relations and Community Concerns / CAUSE-NY. The Forum convenes professional, lay, community and faith-based leadership of the Bronx, representing its diversity. These leaders come from the worlds of education, business, social service, government, health care as well as many other walks of life. The Bronx Forum will conduct a series of community wide roundtable discussions, seminars, workshops and an annual conference to empower community and faith-based leaders with the community organizing skills needed to support and serve the Bronx and its array of culturally diverse neighborhoods. For all professionals, community and faith-based leaders concerned with financial challanges in today’s economy:

Advanced Human Resources Wednesday, November 3, 2010 ($10) Breakfast and Registration 8:30am Program 9:00am - 11:30am Human resources are critical to the success of any non-profit organization. While often seen as only hiring and firing, it encompasses all employee management. This forum will provide the key fundamentals of human resources in order to better understand: ◆ How effective human resource policies may help an agency achieve its mission ◆ How human resources can allow non-profits to overcome challenges and constraints ◆ How to motivate employees in lean fiscal times

The New 990: Friend or Foe? Tuesday, December 14, 2010 ($10) Breakfast and Registration 8:30am Program 9:00am - 11:30am Be afraid -- the greatly expanded "informational" tax return required by the IRS for all non-profits is here. The government wants to know much more about your operations, and funders can access these public records revealing how your agency spends its resources. This seminar will explain: ◆ What you need to know about the NEW 990. ◆ How to make the new 990 your ally in achieving your agency's goals ◆ Instituting proper ongoing procedures to make the 990 process less onerous

For more information, contact Monica Merlis at mmerlis@jcrcny.org or call 212-983-4800 x122 Visit www.communityuplink.net for information on community events through New York City. All workshops will be held at the Savoy Building, Multi-Purpose Room:
