Where it goes when pay your Section dues
This is the complete line-item budget for 2017. If you’ve never looked at one of these reports before, you might be surprised that we are budgeting for a very significant deficit. Don’t be fooled, though. The individual items are set to allow for development of new programs without having to go back to the well for a refill. So the planned deficit takes those contingencies into consideration. But it doesn’t happen very much in any single year. There’s about a 0.98 probability that we will finish the 2017 budget year with a modest surplus.
There’s a lot of history and esoterica underlying several of the line items. It’s not that we don’t want to give you all the details, but more like you’re probably not that interested. If you do have questions, our esteemed Treasurer, Jeff Cornelius, is just an email away.
