Brooklyn Humanist Community, Inc.

That is our new, official name! We are now incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the state of New York, thanks to hours of hard work on the part of the Board. Kudos to Tony, Bruce, Celeste, Adriana and Michael for getting this done, and many thanks to Malene Duncan of Wilmer Hale for her pro bono legal assistance.

Our next step will be to draw up bylaws and a conflict of interest policy. Ms. Duncan has provided templates and is working closely with Celeste on the questions and suggestions of the Bylaws Task Force, Tony, Celeste, Ruth S., Antoinette and Remi. Then we'll be able to fill out the IRS forms and get our 501(c)(3) federal tax exempt status.

Thanks to the Board and the Bylaws Task Force for all their hard and ongoing work!
