Comments on Finances at Mid-Year

The year is half over and my, how time flies.   As we all know, there are two sides to an income statement....revenue and expenses.   My thanks go out to the volunteers who have helped host many events so far this year and have kept their expenses under budget.   That’s the expense part of the income statement.  The revenue part hasn’t enjoyed the same level success.  The Vancouver chapter has limited resources for increasing our revenues and we certainly do not want to increase the program fees or costs.   With less than a 10% membership attendance at our events (on average), the best solution would seem to be to increase the membership participation or to host events that the majority of our members would want to attend.    As your treasurer i am asking for members input on how to ensure we meet our revenue targets this year and years to come. 

Any suggestions?
