Judith Niles, Budget and Finance Committee Chair The ALCTS FY 2002 budget represents the first full year that the division no longer shared an executive director and office staff with another division. The joint operation with LAMA ended in fall 2001, and we are pleased that the transition has not caused any major disruptions in our budget stability. However, we anticipate that the 2002 fiscal year close (August 31) will show a slight deficit. This is in part because the preconferences in Atlanta did not attract as many participants as planned, and thus revenue will be below projections. Another factor is the delayed publication schedule for Library Resources and Technical Services. The Budget and Finance Committee (BFC) and the ALCTS board of directors are closely monitoring this situation. We have a solid reserve fund that will ensure that the division’s services are maintained if there is a deficit. FY 2002 Midyear Revenues
FY 2002 Midyear Expenditures
FY 2003 Preliminary ReportThe FY 2003 budget projects strong revenues, especially from continuing education (CE). The FY 2003 budget is being built on the assumptions of a substantial increase in CE revenue (with several preconferences scheduled for the Annual Conference in Toronto). Dues revenue is on track for the first six months of the fiscal year. At this time the budget is projected conservatively with a $30,000 deficit (as approved by the ALCTS board), which will be absorbed by the association’s substantial reserve. BFC ProjectsMembership Dues Analyses: Review of this year’s analysis did not indicate that a dues increase is needed.
