Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More Minnesotans, especially those in the Southwest Minnesota Region, will be able to participate in the arts.Since the project involves our financial accounts, we will evaluate by putting the restructuring plan to work, under the supervision of the hired consultant. The board members, Coordinator, Treasurer and Financial Secretary will work with and examine the new structure as it is put into practice. They will respond to the following questions on the evaluation tool.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Previously, so many inactive income and expense accounts were included, making committee reports confusing to the Board members. Now, the committee class balances are organized by clear items, so that committees can track their income and expenses. Likewise, we are now able to look at the General Fund Balance and know that it reflects, with accuracy, our financial health.
