Round Tables Financial Orientation - Good Things to Know

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 with respect to how the finances and resources of the Association are managed and the process that makes that happen. Even more important is to illustrate how interconnected each area of the Association is to one another. We are one Association.

Here we will discuss “Good Things to Know” for Round Tables. As the members and member leaders with the financial responsibility in the Round Tables changes fairly regularly, it is important to have a good basic grounding as to some of the best practices used in preparing and monitoring a budget, as well as, how you fit into the overall ALA strategic plan. The following information should go a long way toward establishing and maintaining a strong budget.

It is our hope that you will find this webcast informative.
