Budget Chart of Accounts
The success of our Finance Committee in 2009 gives us great confidence in our new budget process. The following Chart of Account is what we use to track our revenues and expenses.
Using this chart of Accounts, Committees and Categories enables us to plan for future revenue and expense transactions that we might have mischaracterized in the past, or that we haven't seen before.

In 2009 our budget had grown significantly in size and complexity, and the Finance Committee felt that it was time for an overhaul on how we design and present the budget. Conducting our district business through the use of the Committee structure is important, so we have divided the budget numbers into those committees, giving each a number we can use going forward. We are constantly refining our ability to predict and manage the money provided to us by our membership in order to be effective in reaching for our goals.
