Reserves So we have great reserves. Does this matter if we can't use them?

Spending Rule The BoD has approved the budgeting of 4.5% of IEEE Investable Assets (LT Inv Fund) to be used for new and continuing initiatives – Up to 1.5% for History Center, Awards, Honors Ceremony, IEEE Foundation and Fund Raising functions – Up to 2% for New Initiatives Committee – Up to 1% for OUs with balanced budgets whose reserves exceed 50% of annual expenses For individual S/Cs, each may budget up to 3% providing the integral of all of TAB not exceed the 1% number

What this means to NPSS Budgeting - For Budgeting Purposes, we may budget for initiatives in the following year up to 3% of our reserves. What this means is that in any single year, we can have a negative budget of up to 3% of our reserves Spending - Within any year, we may spend up to 50% of our previous year’s Operational Surplus (actuals positive to budget excluding investment returns ~300k). This spending will be shown in the ongoing forecasting process and does not impact future budgeting.

Discussion Given that increasing initiative money (normal and special) will be used in the future, who are the right people to use that money: – Those closest to the members who earn the money? – Those closest to members who don’t earn the money? – Higher level elected volunteers and staff who are furthest from our members?
