(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today announced that a Berea woman has agreed to dissolve the nonprofit corporation she operated and never again form a charity in Ohio, after an investigation uncovered numerous problems with the organization.
According to the agreement, the nonprofit Advanced Opportunities and Life Enrichment Inc. will be dissolved, and Judith O. Nagy will not hold any position as an officer, trustee, employee, or agent of a charity in Ohio.
Nagy was the principal operator of both Advanced Opportunities and a for-profit entity called New Hope Specialized Services. Both organizations had been certified to provide services to individuals with developmental disabilities but they lost their certification in 2014.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Charitable Law Section investigated Nagy’s operation of the nonprofit and found that she had breached her fiduciary duties of care, failed to properly manage accounts, and failed to comply with Ohio’s charitable laws.
Under the terms of the agreement, an assurance of discontinuance filed in the Franklin County Common Pleas Court, Nagy cannot be responsible for charitable funds in Ohio.
In a separate case involving related activity, Nagy was indicted in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on theft and other charges in connection with her role as primary operator of Advanced Opportunities and New Hope.
