Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Clarify the duties of staff and volunteers, establishing a centralized business model. A strategic planning consultant is leading focus groups w/Staff and volunteers to draft procedures, which are then applied and evaluated. The Board Governance Committee then refines and presents to the Board for final approval. 2: Design and implement a sustainable financial plan. Newly implemented accounting practices are reviewed by the Finance Associate and Executive Director continually. The newly formed Finance Committee reviews these practices and reports findings at monthly Board of Directors meetings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Co-created job descriptions of volunteers, staff, and board members defining communication lines and duties. Co-creation process via focus groups and editorial meetings with a staff and volunteers was facilitated by a consultant. Implementation, evaluation and rewrites were in collaboration with the 'doers'. 2: Implemented a monthly meeting of a Finance Committee, ANNUAL Ask, Member and Donor drives. The Covid deficit budget set limits on loss. There were weekly reviews of finances by the Executive Director, bi-monthly reviews by the newly formed Finance Committee, and monthly reports to the full board. Two finance realities attended to - deficits due to covid and slow re-opening.
