Templates, ROI Study Underway for USCC Chapters
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
When USCC’s consultant, Wendy Scott, interviewed chapter leaders for the Chapter Beyond 2020 Study during Q2 and Q3 last year, she said one of the most frequent requests was for templates for various communications, governance documents and websites.
After the Chapter Leaders meeting in December 2020, in which attendees split into breakout groups to discuss the issue, a list of "Top Templates” was produced, including:
- Bylaws
- Instructions for Form 990 completion
- Event flyers
- Budget and finance templates
The first of those, a bylaws template, has been assembled by integrating templates from non-profit governance websites and the existing documents for the New Jersey, North Carolina, and Virginia chapters. Next up: event flyers!
Chapter leaders can access those documents through the Chapter Leaders Portal (login to your account and go to Groups to find it, or email Linda Norris-Waldt, Chapter Relations Director, for video instructions).
Members from states where there are not chapters yet who are interested in the bylaws template should contact Linda Norris-Waldt (lnorriswaldt@compostingcouncil.org) to receive a copy. The Chapter Advisory Committee, which meets monthly, is expected to finalize new Prospective Chapter Requirements to be approved by the USCC Board of Directors opening the "window” for 2021 new chapter applications.
