[CT-NFB] Draft Aggenda for This Saturday's Quarterly Board Meeting

[CHERI DUQUETTE]

Yes, thank you Becky.
 
Please note, we only need to have $20,000, for we have made our first payment in November, 2023,with the next installment due in November 2024.
 
Also, I have reached out to National to understand if we indeed need to set up a restricted fund, or if we can consider this to be a long-term liability.  I understand that restricted funds are when we have received funds for a specific usage, i.e. scholarships.  
 
However, either way, our Board may wish to still set up the restricted.  
 
Thanks,
Cheri

I too am unsure exactly how we want to consider it: for example, we don’t have a significant restricted fund for the annual state convention though we know we will spend several $1,000s on it. The question about the pledge may well be worth bringing up to the group of other affiliate treasurers or the financial staff in Baltimore.

We pledged $25K, and paid the first installment of $5,000 in November 2023. I understand each November we will pay a $5,000 installment.  I am not sure if this would be considered a restricted account, for as you are aware, once held we cannot use those funds for anything else.  And we didn't actual fundraise nor seek donations specifically for pledge.  So, I am not sure if we wish to just consider it a liability or if we want to set up restricted funds.  I wasn't able to find anything on National's website on policy.  I do meet monthly with the financial group from National and can discuss at one of the meetings, or I can just send off an email to Financial Group in Maryland.
