Income Flow Expectations - Financial planning is not just about knowing how much income to expect. We must be realistic about the exact amounts and the timing of those receivables. Click here for details and examples. |
|
| |
| Chapter Financial Policy - Your chapter needs to know what they can expect from you and from each other when it comes to making spending and |
| |
investment decisions. Wouldn't it be easier to discuss this subject once with your chapter membership instead of every week every time someone wants to spend the chapter's dollars? Click here for details and examples. |

|
|
| |
Chapter Expenditure Plan - Some people/organizations call this a "budget." Whatever you call it, how do you plan to identify the chapter programs, line-items, and unforeseen expenses that will face you this year? Click here for details and examples. |

|
|
|
| |
Officer Succession Plan - Every week, try to think of ways in which you can involve the members who will be taking over your responsibilities someday. If you truly believe in the long-term vision of your chapter and it can't possibly be carried out during your term, then it is your duty to properly train your successors to pick up where you will leave off.
