The development of the Chapter budget is a process that lays out the financial plan and determines how our financial obligations will be met. Our Chapter strives to provide our membership with services that reflect current needs and trends through our many programs and annual conference.
The annual budget process begins in October with the Treasurer, President, Chapter Administrator and interested board members reviewing the current budget and expense as well as previous years to understand how funds are being allocated via the budget and making sure we stay within stated budget goals.
