A museum or historical society in New York that wishes to organize as a nonprofit private education corporation must be issued a charter from the Board of Regents. But how does that process work? What are the different types of charters available? What are the benefits of being issued a charter? Join Lauren Lyons, Chartering Coordinator at the New York State Museum, to learn the answers to these questions and more.
