Invest York Road updates - Feb. 2023

On a monthly basis, we post a high-level summary of work that has happened with Invest York Road (IYR) over the course of the previous month so that community members can stay informed about the progress being made.

Here are updates for the month of February:

• As we continue to advance our organizational development work, we started a relationship with a professional non-profit consultant who is helping us with all aspects of building out our new entity.
  
• With the support of that consultant and the review of our steering committee, we are almost done refining our bylaws in preparation of our 501(c)(3) application.
• There were two community info sessions in February at which we shared information with interested community members.
• Invest York Road showed up at a Loyola-sponsored community event at Full Tilt Brewing, at which we also said farewell to our dear friend and collaborator, Sa'D Maxwell, who is moving on to start and run his own business. Sa'D was a great strategic partner, one of the creators of our financial and investment education program, a class facilitator, and great champion of Invest York Road. We will miss him, but we are excited to see him thrive in this next chapter of his life. Thank you, Sa'D, for all of your contributions!
