Secretary/Treasurer Report
Favorable Finances
by Doug Shifflett, CCM, CCE

Fellow Chapter Members,

I am happy to report that the Chapter continues to be in a very favorable financial position. The Chapter had net income of $80,515 (11/1/17- 3/19/18) vs. $82,898 during the same period last year. We currently have $155,625 in our checking account and $152,961 in savings as of March 20, 2018.

Our Managing Director, Patricia Calder, and Member Services Manager, Cathy Miller, are working with our accounting firm, Cherry Bekaert, to transition us from cash‑based to accrual‑based accounting. This change will enable us to more accurately compare our financial performance to budget. Once this change is complete, we will finalize our year‑end 2017 financials and file our form 990 (for which we have received an extension in filing).

It is a great privilege to serve the Chapter as your Secretary/Treasurer. If you have any questions related to our Chapter’s finances, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Doug Shifflett, CCM, CCE
Secretary-Treasurer

We are thrilled about our recent achievements of CHAPTER OF THE YEAR for large chapters and EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION for large chapters! Thank you to you, our members, for making these happen!

Please take a look at the Chapter and National scholarships that are available to you. They're not just for younger or mid-level managers! And there are thousands of dollars in awards NOT given out each year simply because no one applied. Click here: Chapter Scholarships and CMAA Scholarships.

DO NOT MISS the upcoming Manager‑Director Forum on May 21st at the Country Club of North Carolina in Pinehurst. We are featuring a panel of experts on a topic that everyone needs to hear about - Human Resources and Employment Issues. M-D F Info
