The major project for this year was the completion of
the rewriting of Policy Manual Section J (Finances).
A Committee-approved draft of the Policy Manual was sent to ARLIS/NA
Executive Board members. A number of tax and
audit matters were clarified with our accounting firm. Phil Heagy wrote the new Treasurer Training Manual.
The structure of the Restricted/Designated funds was reviewed.

Strategic Plan
Refine
methods for overseeing the Society’s investments which include: determine a
methodology by which information concerning endowment management is gathered
from other similar organizations, establish guidelines for reviewing the
statements, and maintain a chart providing an overview of income and fees. (IV
B).
2.
Write guidelines for the use, establishment, and distribution of short-term and
long-term funds. (IV B)
The
completed rewriting of Policy Manual
Section J relates to item 2 of the strategic plan.
In
view of current rewrites and the stable financial situation, the item itself
needs revision for the new strategic plan.
