Len Lazarick Maryland Reporter: New president of Md. Nonprofits group, Greg Cantori, takes over in challenging time

New president of Md. Nonprofits group takes over in challenging time

Greg Cantori takes over as president of Maryland Nonprofits next Monday at a time when nonprofit organizations and their clients – like many businesses in Maryland small and large – have been battered by the economy.

“Not only did they have to weather this great recession, they have had to take up the slack” from the impact of the economy’s increasing demand for social services, Cantori said in an interview. “I think it’s been such an incredibly challenging time in the last five years.”

Cantori was named last month to head the association that includes 1,400 nonprofit organizations and 300 associate members. He moves over from a brief four-month stint as the executive director of the Downtown Sailing Center, but he is best known for his 12 years managing the operations of the Marion I. & Henry J. Knott Foundation and its philanthropy to Catholic and educational institutions.

There are 28,000 organizations in Maryland designated as 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service, meaning that contributions to these “public charities” can be tax deductible. … http://marylandreporter.com/2012/09/25/new-president-of-md-nonprofits-group-takes-over-in-challenging-time/

Maryland Reporter: AFSCME members ask legislators to keep pensions and health benefits the same

AFSCME members ask legislators to keep pensions and health benefits the same

January 13, 2011 By Megan Poinski

More than 100 members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees came to Annapolis on Wednesday to lobby the 428th General Assembly for their No. 1 priority: preserving the health and pension benefits they have.

Before the session began at noon on Wednesday, union members from throughout the state filed into a public lounge in the House Office Building. AFSCME staff handed out green hats and scarves to the union members, as they signed onto a sheet with their names and legislative districts. Once they signed in, they sat at tables organized by district number and prepared to visit their newly elected representatives.

AFSCME is the largest union for state employees. Legislative director Sue Esty said that with several proposals circulating to make cuts in pension and health benefits – as well as recent furloughs, pay cuts and hiring freezes – the union members want to make sure they set the right tone for this General Assembly session.

[…]

Recent deliberations and recommendations from the Public Employees’ and Retirees’ Benefits Sustainability Commission galvanized the union members and spurred them into action. The eight-member commission created by legislation last year is recommending that the General Assembly cut state costs of health insurance 10% by hiking premiums and reducing coverage for state employees and retirees, and shift half the costs of teacher pensions to local school boards over the next three to five years.

[…]

At Wednesday’s rally, correctional officer Greg Currie, who works at the Metropolitan Transition Center in Baltimore, said he has attended pension commission meetings – even testifying about retirement benefits at a public hearing. Currie said that he just wants to see pensions and health care stay the same. He has written to his representatives in the General Assembly about the issue, and is hopeful that they will make a careful decision.

Today is the first day of the 428th legislative session of the Maryland General Assembly and, as in past years, the main question on the minds of the leadership of this august body’s deliberations will be, “Welcome to Maryland, what’s in your wallet?”

Now that the hangover from last November’s Maryland General Election is becoming a memory, and Marylanders have begun to put away the Christmas lights and joined a local gym to shed those holiday pounds, many are beginning to set their sights on January 12, the beginning of the 2011 session of the Maryland General Assembly.
