In additon to all the good times we’ve been having at the Brew we have also working on getting non-profit status for Michigan Movie Makers. Tomorrow (4/11/13) I will be sitting down with Northsky Non-profit Network here in Traverse City to find out exactly what we need to do to get this non-profit off the ground. I am also working on getting in contact with the West Michigan Film and Video Alliance for some additional advice. I have completed the first draft of the Articles of Incorporation and the M3 Bylaws that I will be presenting to Northsky tomorrow for feedback and guidance. I’m also looking for your help. Below I have included links of the drafts of the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws. Feel free to look them over and let me know what you think. This is a work in progress so please let me know what needs to be fixed. If you have any ideas for changes or additions to the bylaws let me know and explain a little bit about why you think they should be changed. By creating this non-profit we are hoping to help bring in funding for creating things like an online talent bank for the local film and video industry. Make sure to take a good look at our “purpose” to ensure it fits with all our ideas for growing our industry locally.
