7. Budget Every chapter should have a budget
The treasurer works closely with the chapter Finance Committee and Committee Chairmen to determine projected expenses
Income is usually determined by membership and desired number of initiates as well as any anticipated interest/donations/fund raising
The budget is the treasurer’s guideline for expenses
Approval of the budget should be voted on at the first meeting of the new fiscal year (July 1-June30) is our fiscal year
When developing the year’s budget, the previous year’s expenditures will be helpful
The treasurer will want to keep a “weather eye” on the budget as the year progresses and monitor reimbursements
