Who helped build America while almost no one was watching? And why have we almost completely forgotten this? A new book helps explain what chambers did, why they did it, and why we shouldn’t forget them. The book is called: The Magicians of Main Street: America and its Chambers of Commerce, 1768-1945. An epilogue takes the story up to today. The author, Chris Mead, senior vice president of the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) gives sneak peak into the book in this presentation. Mead will explain why chambers dreamed so much and reached so far – sometimes too far. But our country would be nothing like what it is if not for business organizations very much like yours.

Just 1 Question:
We appreciate your feedback!

Bicycle messenger boys often conjure up images of young boy riding an early morning newspaper delivery route. Long before the newspaper delivery boy, telegraph and shipping companies exploited child bicycle messengers as a cheap form of labor. Bicycle messenger boys worked long hours under dangerous conditions for little pay. Some worked overnight delivering messages and parcels to patrons and proprietors in red light districts. Some were injured or even killed on the job. This presentation will examine how bicycle messenger boys found themselves entwined in evolving American labor laws from 1890-1940. Anti-child labor organizations such as the National Child Labor Committee used exposés of the working conditions of messenger boys to help force passage of the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act.

Envision Ford City - Report to the Community

Mike Morency

Community Conversations was NOT about rehashing problems, or gathering together to complain. It was NOT about other people’s ideas or plans for Ford City, but about listening to the people of the community, building on their ideas and engaging in their meaning…. It is about Seeing THEIR vision for THEIR community, through THEIR eyes! Community Conversations allowed the people of Ford City to begin to dream together, and as this Brazilian Proverb says… "When you dream alone, it remains just a dream. When you dream together, it is the beginning of a new reality."

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.ppt

seri bangash

www.seribangash.com A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA: Contents of Memorandum of Association: Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company. https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/ Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent. Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause. www.seribangash.com Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up. https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/ Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value. Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA. Importance of Memorandum of Association: Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process. Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations. Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability. External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers. https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/ Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void. Amendment of MOA: While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
