Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Engage a new accounting firm and online accounting system. Success will be easily evaluated by the presence and operation of a new online accounting system maintained by a new accounting firm and accessible by a larger number of organization stakeholders. 2: Return the organization to a positive budget scenario by 2017. Success will be easily evaluated by board approval of a 2017 budget with a positive bottom line.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A new accounting firm has been contracted and a new online accounting system has been established. The new system will complete its first year when this fiscal year ends September 30. 2: A positive budget for 2017 was approved before the year began that calls for an $8,000 surplus this year. Actual board vote to pass a resolution for budgets for the year 2017 as well as 2018.
