New State Regulation Proposed Regarding Non-Profit Business Management
NON-PROFITS - The OFFICE OF THE STATE TREASURER proposed an amendment to Rules for Charitable Trust Stabilization Committee (74 IAC 550; 42 Ill Reg 16913) applying the criteria for identifying a depressed area in the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act to the determination of preferences for grants to nonprofit entities with operating budgets of less than $1 million.
Applicants will be given “special attention” if they are located in a census tract that meets at least one of the
following criteria: an unemployment rate 20% or more above the State average, a poverty rate of at least 20%, at least 20% of households receiving SNAP benefits, or at least 50% of children qualifying for free or
reduced-price school meals. Non-profit organizations will be affected by this rulemaking.
For questions/requests for copies/comments through 11/5/18: Jennifer Olaya, Office of the Treasurer,

Solutionitis is a form of groupthink in which a set of shared beliefs results in an incomplete analysis of the problem to be addressed and fuller consideration of potential problem solving alternatives. When decision makers see complex challenges through their narrow lens of past experiences, their solutionitis lures them into unproductive and ineffective strategies. We see a one-size-fit-all solution.

Association Success
Although the nature of association work – mission-driven service to members – can be accomplished from almost anywhere with an internet connection, working as an association management professional without a cadre of counterparts nearby can present a unique set of challenges.
