Dear Friend,
As you may know, in December 2008, after much deliberation, The Council of Community Services of New York State, Inc.s' (CCSNYS) board of directors formally proposed to our membership that CCSNYS officially become the "New York Council of Nonprofits, Inc."
Though we realized our name had served us well over the years, and was certainly well known in it's own right, it no longer accurately captured the mission and spirit of our organization.We felt that the new name would reflect a true representation of what we do in our community and where we see the exciting future of our organization, as a more unified voice for the New York State nonprofit community!
We're glad to say that you agreed.
At a special membership meeting on January 26th, 2009 in Albany, NY our members overwhelmingly voted to change our organization's name to the New York Council of Nonprofits, Inc. (NYCON).
We hope you are as excited about this new name as we are. The name ushers in an era of increased visibility for and recognized value of the nonprofit community. New York's nonprofits are engaging in critical conversations at the state and national level. We are making our voices heard regarding the important role nonprofits play in improving communities, enhancing the quality of life and stimulating the economy.
During this important time, NYCON will strive to be the "soap box" and the "tool box" for New York's nonprofits.
As for changes to our "look," we're happy to unveil the new logo above. You will see other changes to our website and our printed information introduced gradually. As for our website and email addresses, they will eventually change, but you will still be able to use www.ccsnys.org and contact our staff at their CCSNYS email addresses.
As for the staff and board members of NYCON, we thank you for taking part in helping us move forward. We are excited about serving you as the New York Council of Nonprofits for many years to come. As always, if you have questions about the name change or anything else, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
