Jane - I believe a couple of our LWIBs have incorporated into domestic not for profit corporations in order to formalize their existence (Kansas lacks any State WIA legislation).

(GC-LI) Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 11:00 AM To: wiaattorneys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [wiaattorneys] Question on Incorporating One Stop Consortiums A consultant for a local area's one stop consortium has advised it to incorporate for several reasons. Has any of the organizations in your state, i.e. WIBs, One stops and or one stop consortiums incorporated. If so, why and into what? If they have not is it because of any laws in your state. PA Constitution states that the Commonwealth cannot become a joint owner or stockholder in any company, corporation or association. I'm not sure if this would, according to case law, prohibit the Commonwealth from being part of a non profit corporation for the public purpose of administering the WIA. Can I get some help please?
