Budget Planning for Pre-Conferences and Other One Time Events

Part of the American Library Association's Financial Learning Series

This is a Budget Analysis and Review Committee (BARC) and ALA Finance staff webcast. The purpose of this webcast is to provide you with a basic level of understanding of how the Association’s budget is developed and perhaps even more important, to illustrate how interconnected each area of the Association is to one another. We are one Association.

Here we will discuss how to prepare - budget and plan – for a face to face Pre-Conference or other day long or multi day events. Although anyone can use this information, the session is targeted to offices, committees and roundtables. To assist you with effective budget planning for programs, this webinar will cover the following points:
  • Program Pre-Planning Proposal
  • Expenses
  • Revenues
  • Other Considerations
  • Helpful Resources
