NEXT CESC PARIS MEETING
Monday 1 March 2021 @ 10h30-12h15

Dear CESC Paris Community,

NEXT MEETING: MONDAY 1 MARCH 2021 @ 10h30-12h15
THE INS AND OUTS OF RUNNING A NON-PROFIT
(especially during a worldwide pandemic)

Our guest speaker will be Mr Jean Taquet, who specializes in French administration and our focus will be on loi-1901, running a non-profit association and some of the current or ongoing issues we are experiencing due to the fall out from Covid 19. We won't be able to answer all your questions, but the idea is to gage areas of interest and concern and then organize further discussions with more experts within and outside of the CESC community.
Sign up for the meeting, don't forget to include your questions so we have time to think about them.

1) Please RSVP here so we can keep track of attendees and their announcements and updates.

2) For the Zoom Link, on Monday 1 March, 10h30-12h15: Click here.
