This workshop will help those who are new to ministerial leadership complete all the appropriate forms for IRS, health insurance, and pensions, as well as prepare them for the kinds of reporting and record keeping that they will need to do in their first year in ministry. A number of these forms will need to be completed before new appointments on June 16, 2007.
