Dear division presidents and zone presidents,<\/p>\n
We are approaching a new fiscal year at the beginning of April and are in the process of developing the 2019-2020 operational budget. The Board of Directors has directed me to identify two zone representatives (ZR) who will serve as consultants as we develop next year\u2019s operational budget and financial framework.<\/p>\n
The role of the two\u00a0Zone Representatives\u00a0will be to:<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Zone Representatives\u00a0should have experience with developing budgets in a business or a non-profit setting.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Zone Representatives\u00a0will assist the CSP President and CEO and the Financial Oversight Committee on this project. The role of consultant is to provide valuable insight from a zone perspective about how the CSP can move forward on a stable financial basis and continue to add value to the individual CSP regular member.\u00a0Zone Representatives\u00a0will be asked to actively participate through email correspondence, phone calls with individual members, teleconference calls, and video conferencing calls. The anticipated number of hours of involvement could be between 10 and 20 hours over the next two months.<\/p>\n
The budget process is well defined. While management develops the budget and the FOC provides the necessary oversight to ensure the budget is\u00a0both reasonable and\u00a0fiscally responsible, the Board of Directors has the authority to finalize and approve the budget. By consulting with the\u00a0Zone Representatives, we hope to improve the ability to communicate our financial goals with the zones and divisions and ensure the CSP moves forward on stable financial ground.<\/p>\n
