Presentation & Continental Breakfast at 7:30
Networking at 9:00
The 21st season of NAO’s Nonprofit Fiscal Managers Association kicks off with a very hot topic—healthcare reform. As nonprofit leaders, we want to provide safe and affordable healthcare for our employees and clients, and recent and upcoming changes in insurance and healthcare leave many of us wondering how these changes will impact our organization’s bottom line.
Join us to explore the implications of healthcare reform for your organization.
This session will examine:
- Overview and timeline of implementation
- Impact to employer, employees, and clients
- Costs
- Record keeping and compliance
- Tax implications
