The federal government has created a new federal reporting requirement through the Corporate Transparency Act. Entities (domestic and foreign) are required to report certain information about beneficial ownership and management control, and then have an ongoing obligation to update this information as changes occur. Beneficial ownership reporting is an effort to help prevent money laundering and other financial crimes by requiring those with control over certain entities to provide identifying information.
In this webinar led by Rob Cohen of DS&L, learn and be aware of the basics of:
Why do I need to file another report?
Who needs to report and do exemptions from reporting exist?
Who is considered a beneficial owner?
When am I required to file my initial report?
What kind of information needs to be reported?
Where does the reporting information get filed?
Who has access to this information?
What happens if an entity does not comply with the reporting requirements?

The 2023 “Rally at the Alley” EDPA Northeast Fundraiser returns to Splitsville at Foxborough’s Patriot Place on March 23rd, this time to benefit Dana Esposito of BlueHive Exhibits.
Read on for Dana’s story and how to register and/or sponsor the event!
On November 20, 2022, Dana Esposito was thrown from a horse while on a charity horse ride. Unexpectedly, the horse behind hers bit her horse on the rump, causing it to suddenly panic, buck several times, and throw her up into the air and onto the ground.
She suffered a broken and fractured pelvis, broken and fractured ribs, and a fractured sacrum. She broke and fractured several of the transverse process bones in her lower back. Thankfully, she did not have a brain injury and was not paralyzed.
Dana had surgery at Mass General where they inserted large screws into her pelvic bones to hold her together. After a week and a half, she was moved to Spaulding Rehab. When she first arrived, she could not even sit up. After two and a half weeks of rigorous physical therapy, she was able to go home a week ahead of schedule and has been wheelchair-bound since Spaulding. Dana is hoping to be approved in mid-February to start PT for standing and walking. Dana plans to be walking by March 1st, which is a tad ahead of schedule, but she is a self-described stubborn cement-head, and a woman on a mission.
Dana has been in our industry for over 25 years. She is an exhibit designer, and a creative and corporate leader, championing the success of the companies she works for, their clients, and future industry talent.
She is on the EDPA Board of Directors, is the Co-chair of the EDPA University Affiliation Committee where she manages the mentorship program and was one of the founding members who restarted the EDPA Northeast chapter.

Due to the ongoing global pandemic, the annual EDPA Northeast “The Classic” golf tournament has been transitioned to a virtual event.
The 2020 Virtual “The Classic” will include two different tournaments in one. This will allow everyone to participate from the serious golfer to the completely not serious as all! We will simultaneously hold a traditional “Best Ball” tournament as well as a traditional mini-golf stroke play tournament.
Rather than getting together at Shaker Hills Country club, registrants for the “Best Ball” tournament will golf at the course of their choice during the tournament schedule either alone OR with their team of 2-4 players.
At the same time, registrants for the mini-golf stroke play tournament will play as singles at any mini-golf course of their choice.
Post-Event Zoom Call to be scheduled the week of 10/19 for awards and information.
Anyone who is part of the exhibit industry and their guests.
Participant will register for event between August 28th through September 30th. Participants can golf alone or with a team of 2, 3 or 4 players. Participants then golf at the course of their choice between October 1st through October 16th. Greens fees are the responsibility of each golfer. We will use a “Best Ball” scoring system. Everyone keeps their own actual score on each hole. If you are playing as part of team of 2,3 or 4 players, you will use the best individual score from your team on each hole as your team score. Every participant will be eligible for the “Individual” low score and “Team” low score if part of a team of at least 2 people. A photo of completed scorecards will need to be sent to info@edpanortheast.com by 5pm on October 16th to qualify for any prizes.
