COMMITTEE REPORT FORM – REQUIRING ACTION

COMMITTEE: Budget and Finance

DATE OF MEETING/TOPIC: 2013-2014 Budget Amendments

3/4/2014 in person

3/10/2014 via conference call

QUORUM(yes/no): Yes

BACKGROUND:

2013-2014 Budget

The Chapter’s current budget is $93,895 for 2013-2014.

The Chapter has $101,074 available for allocation for 2013-2014 based on funds reconciled through

December 31, 2013, leaving $11,324 available for allocations.

The Committee recommends that the budget be increased to $98,020 which will leave $3,054

unallocated.

COMMITTEE’S RECOMMENDATION(s):

Recommendation #1

The committee recommends a budget of $98,020 for the 2013-2014 as outlined in the attached document

with increases to Directory, Supplies, Finance Team, Regional Conference Ad, and Audit Committee.

Rationale:

Funds were targeted to the line items noted above for the following reasons: (1) Expenses from the

previous sorority year came in after July 1st and depleted the Directory allocation; therefore, we are

allocating funds to ensure the committee has sufficient funding for this sorority year, (2) We are using

more supplies than originally expected due in part to preparation for MIT activities, (3) the Finance team

needs additional funds to support the purchase of a printer and to cover expenses tied to the Financial

Fortitude course, (4) the Regional Ad line item is being increased to cover the full cost of the Ad and (5)

additional funding is requested by the Audit team to ensure a more comprehensive audit than was

conducted last year.

Recommendation#2

Rescind action taken by the chapter to allocate $25 from Contingency towards the Regional Conference

Ad.

Revised 8/2011

Rationale: The full cost of the Regional Ad will be covered if Recommendation #1 is approved.

INFORMATIONAL:

(1) The Committee also received request from the Directory for $3,800 and Arts and Letters

Committees for $3,000. The Budget and Finance Committee opted not to take any action on the

items.

The Directory request of $3,800 was based in part on inclusion of new members that may be

initiated soon through Dallas Alumnae. Budget and Finance will reconsider this request after

members have been initiated.

No action was taken on the Arts and Letters report because there was no consensus on how to

proceed. The following items were part of the committee’s consideration:

Arts and Letters has a balance of $1,134.12 from a Target grant that Dodd manages.

The request to Budget and Finance included $2,000 towards the purchase of tickets to the

April Jazz event, $500 for marketing expenses, and $500 towards one scholarship - although

the Committee is targeting to give three (3) $500 scholarships

Arts and Letters plans to use proceeds from Artist sales to support the additional

scholarships. There is no guarantee how much will be sold by the artist. The chapter’s

practice is to collect funds, clear all expenses, report back to the chapter, and then expense

remaining funds. The proposal by Arts and Letters submitted to Budget and Finance for

review would have scholarships awarded on April 5th

, before a final reconciliation of funds

could be completed and reported back to the chapter at the April meeting.

For ticket sales, the proposal is for DA to purchase tickets from TBAAL for the Arts event

and then sorors purchase those tickets from DA. Sorors would receive one free ticket for

each ticket purchased. Unused tickets purchased by DA would be given to Music/Arts

Students. There is no guarantee how many tickets sorors will purchase and at some point

ticket sales would have to be cut off in order to communicate to necessary individuals how

many tickets would be available for students.

$1,000 was allocated to the Committee in September.

In lieu of providing additional funds to the Arts and Letters Committee, options the committee should

explore are: use of the remaining Target grant, use of the remaining funds that were allocated, and

coordination with the Scholarship Committee to determine if there are existing scholarship funds to

support the Arts and Letters’ Committee request which may require a delay in selection and awarding of

the scholarship.

(2) The Tentative Date for the Financial Fortitude/Fiscal Fitness course is Saturday, April 26th

.

This session is for Sorors only and is being provided at no cost the Dallas Alumnae Chapters

meeting. RSVP to [email protected] is required.

(3) Next meeting dates for the Budget and Finance Committee are April 10, 2014 and May 8, 2014.

If you have final budget amendment request for 2013-2014, they must be submitted on or before

April 8, 2014. Budget request for 2014-2015 must be submitted on or before May 1, 2014.
