Question:
Our NAMI Northeast Kansas/Leavenworth group is a 501c3 corporation. We are currently going through our re-Affiliation process with both our state and national NAMI organizations. We are required to have our by-laws reviewed by an attorney or legal representative before we can complete our process. Is there any organization that could do this for a minimal charge? We are 100% based upon donations, and do not have funding to support this effort. I will be donating the funds needed to accomplish this, if the amount is small enough. Thank you,

Hi Dea,
 
 
Welcome to the Community Tool Box (CTB) and Ask an Advisor, we're glad you've stopped by and hope we can offer you useful, directly applicable, timely, and accurate advice regarding finding a legal entity to review your by-laws. That said Dea, I'm not too sure how much help we can be to you as your question is pretty specific to Northeast Kansas/Leavenworth. Although I personally don't know of such a legal entity in Kansas (I'm in California), I have worked very closely with the Community Engagement Institute (CEI) at Wichita State University so you might want to contact the great folks there; they work all over Kansas and have a vast network. The web site is: http://www.wichita.edu/thisis/home/?u=cei and the staff members I've worked with are Dr. Tara Gregory (Director, Center for Applied Research and Evaluation) and Bailey Blair (Behavioral Health Specialist); if they don't know of such a legal entity they'll likely know who knows (you know?); at least they can point you in a better direction than I can. Tara's phone number/email are email: tara.gregory@wichita.edu/316.978.3714 and Bailey's phone number/email are email: bailey.blair@wichita.edu/316.978.3564. Whoever you email/call, tell them Dr. Jeff Sheldon suggested you talk with them and see what they have to say, can't hurt. Dea, wish I could be of more use to you, but start with either Tara or Bailey at CEI and go from there. With that, thank you Dea for visiting the CTB and Ask an Advisor. We wish you the greatest of success in your quest. Be well, take care, do good work!
