Slide Five...The Budget is implemented |
| The
Mount Olive budget and calendar should be developed, coordinated,
staffed, submitted, and approved at the same time. Ideally, the budget & calendar call should go to the auxiliaries in the May/June time period to allow sufficient time for the auxiliaries to perform two critical functions: (1) decide what projects/initiatives they anticipate for the upcoming fiscal year beginning January of the following year, and (2) anticipate funding for the event. Our most critical time is that period following submission of inputs when the calendar must be de-conflicted. |

Ideally, the budget & calendar call should go to the
auxiliaries in the May/June time period to allow sufficient
time for the auxiliaries to perform two critical functions:
(1) decide what projects/initiatives they anticipate for the
upcoming fiscal year beginning January of the following
year, and (2) anticipate funding for the event.
Our most critical time is that period following
submission of inputs when the calendar must be
de-conflicted.
At this key juncture, the auxiliaries each must be in open
dialogue with the Budget committee of the Trustee Board.
The Calendar committee (per the bylaws) is
unspecified, but it should be synonymous with the budget
committee to eliminate unnecessary delays in processing and
to streamline the process.
Since the representation on the budget committee is
comprised of key staff, the budget and calendar really is
representative of senior leadership vision for the church
and by default the product of their deliberations should not
be subject matter for open debate.
This of course assumes the auxiliaries are coming in
with projects fully in alignment with the goals and purposes
of the church.
Once the budget and calendar are approved, there is no need
for additional explanations or requests for approval to
expend the funds.
They only need to coordinate with the Treasurer to identify
dates/times funds are needed.
