Finance Committee

The 1990 IRS audit has been closed, with everything being accepted as is. It was closed without comment. Some issues remain open for 1991-1995. The Finance Committee will be ready to negotiate if and when the issue is raised again.

Composition of Committees

MOTION: That each SA Committee consist of one Trustee, one Delegate and as many other appointed members as deemed necessary to accomplish its task.

Central Office Management Committee is to study current literature pricing versus cost and report back to the Assembly in January in Oklahoma City.

All committees are reminded, if they have not done so, to submit through Central Office a mission statement and a budget for 1997 so that the budget for the entire fellowship can be considered at the January meeting. There are many worthwhile projects afloat and we need to allocate our resources wisely.
