Thanks! A few budget questions. 1) How does the legal and tax budget compare to spending in FY09? I assume that tax is the minority of the budget?
2) I see that the Adoption Committee has $40,000 budgeted split between market research, case studies/tutorials, and library updates. There appears to be another $55,000 written into the budget for branding/design/writing, web marketing, public relations, and IIW sponsorships. Which Committee is managing this additional $55,000 budget? 3) While we've seen growth in the number of Sustaining Members, should we be taking a more conservative approach to budgeting rather than spending all but $600 this year? Trying to increase our bank balance would be prudent given that the future is always unpredictable when it comes to membership (currently our only revenue). 4) I believe that the Technology Committee had asked for a modest budget for hosting events like this upcoming technology summit. Given that we're already doing this, why was that request denied (or is it the membership meetings & support budget)?
