This is the process we suggest for forming your own association. If you do this step by step we can help you quickly and easily form your own association.
Step One: Your Mission
In a paragraph state the mission for your nonprofit health association. Keep in mind that the best reason for forming an association is to educate your members about certain health features. The best health reasons to form an educational association are to learn how to:
reduce and manage your stress so your body can heal itself
elevate and manage your mood so you can function better
clear your mind so you can focus, concentrate and pay attention better
reduce and manage your weight so your body is healthier
do anything that is not diagnosing, treating or curing a disease, disorder or condition
do anything that is not counseling, suggesting, advising or prescribing
do anything that is not illegal
Also keep in mind that in a private association you may step into the gray area with your members but not with the public. What you do and say within the structure of your association is private and confidential -- protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution and Section Two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
You may have one or more classifications for membership. As a rule most small associations classify members as professionals and non-professionals or associate members. But you have many options.
Our mission is to help you help other people to the best of your ability. We do this within the framework of the United States Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Everything we do is legal and within the law. We expect the same commitment from you.
