Information provided by the San Juan Bautista Business Association
For the purpose of clarity and smoothness of business, the San Juan Bautista Business Association, formerly known as the San Juan Committee DBA San Juan Bautista Business Association, has filed a California Secretary of State “Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation Name Change Only – Nonprofit” and one with the Internal Revenue Service. Both have been received and approved. Registered as a non-profit with the Community Foundation for San Benito County.
Timeline
- 2011 The San Juan Committee began as a committee under the San Benito Chamber of Commerce.
- 2015 The San Juan Committee filed for and became its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- 2018 With encouragement from the San Juan Bautista City Council, we filed a fictitious name statement and adopted the DBA San Juan Bautista Business Association.
