United Way Hosts Virtual Lunch & Learn UNITED
Featuring NYS Attorney General’s Office
WATERTOWN, NY – United Way of
Northern New York (UWNNY) invites nonprofit leaders, board members, and
community stakeholders to a special Lunch &
Learn UNITED session on March 6, 2025, from 11:45 AM to 1 PM. This free
virtual event will feature a presentation facilitated by representatives of
the New York State Attorney General’s Office, which oversees the Charities
Bureau—New York’s primary regulator of nonprofit organizations. The
Charities Bureau plays a critical role in ensuring compliance and
protecting donors while also serving as a valuable resource, providing
guidance and support to help nonprofits operate transparently and
effectively.
Featured
Presenters:
• Deanna R. Nelson, Assistant Attorney
General in Charge, has led the Watertown Regional Office of the Attorney
General since 2008. She has extensive experience overseeing charitable
organizations in the Jefferson-Lewis-St. Lawrence region and has served on
multiple nonprofit boards.
• C. Michelle McKenzie, Assistant
Attorney General, has been leading the charitable
organizations practice at the Watertown Regional Office since 2021. A
lifelong resident of Jefferson County, she understands the vital role
nonprofits play in strengthening local communities.
What to Expect:
The program will
center around key questions that every nonprofit should consider:
• Do you know your organization’s origin
story?
• How can your organization expand its
mission responsibly while staying within legal boundaries?
• What are the fiduciary obligations and
potential liabilities that nonprofit leaders should understand?
As nonprofits
continuously evolve to meet community needs and diversify revenue, mission
shifts and organizational updates have become more common. This discussion
will offer valuable insights on how to navigate
these changes while staying compliant with state regulations. Attendees
will also have the opportunity to ask questions
and access helpful resources from the Attorney General’s Office.

Attend?
