This year we are making several changes to the Spending Plan development and management process. Please read through this message so we can discuss at the next Steering Committee meeting. First, the high level discussion: While you will see some process and documentation changes, we expect to be able to support Member Section activities at the same level as last year. We are asking for clearer documentation of planned and executed expenses, in alignment with evolving non-profit audit and IRS requirements. We are evaluating all travel and entertainment expenses (member sections and staff) uniformly to ensure balanced use of this increasingly scarce resource. We are moving your OASIS staff support expense to the OASIS side of the budget to simplify the accounting processes. You will receive the same service, it just won't be on your Spending Plan, and it needn't be part of your allocation. -- Scott McGrath COO
