Hugh discovered we hadn’t filed required annual report with Pennsylvania for many years—potentially threatening our non-profit status. This is a long-standing problem with MWSA management, and we must do better.

Report/Due to/Due by/Position or person in charge

I will create a spreadsheet to track this type of information—likely incorporating this into our portfolio document in this section of the website. Will probably have to wait until I return from vacation (May 2).

Received a notice from InCorp ( Registered Agent) regarding updating credit card information. Logged in and since 2016 MWSA has been out of compliance with the State of Pennsylvania except in 2022 Joe Epley filed a report.

I jumped in and filed for 2025.

What will become problematic, I believe next year if MWSA does not file a report the organization will be out of compliance which creates a whole new set of circumstances…none good and probably cost $$ to regain “good standing”. I attached a “how to” guide and really easy to do which is essentially updating President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

Probably need to assign this function to a specific “”billet” as people come and go from their leadership roles. I would say assign to “Secretary”.

Did call InCorp to ask why we hadn’t received a notice…their answer “we receive mail as registered agent”. Nothing more nothing less. $129 per year.

See what I saw below.
