What is the Role of the Finance Committee?

The finance committee's responsibility is to review and make recommendations to the Board on operating and capital budgets, review investment guidelines for Reserve Fund, and propose new products and services for the association (see NSNA Bylaws for more details).

​Finance Committee, Summer Memo

NSNA’s Summer Leadership U Conference takes place virtually on Thursday & Friday July 30-31, 2020. I will be presenting, so please don’t miss it! Click here for more info.   

Greetings to you all and congratulations on being elected or appointed to your positions of leadership! I am honored and excited have been elected to serve as your NSNA Secretary-Treasurer, and I looking forward to working with all of you this year. In addition to being a member of the board, I am the chairperson of the NSNA Finance Committee, working with committee members Brandi Borden, President, and Luiz Dias, Vice-President.  

Although the world seemingly came to a halt in March, the NSNA board has not let the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic slow us down. Utilizing Zoom in the safety of our homes earlier this month, the Finance Committee has already been hard at work. It was a very productive meeting: we discussed the financial uncertainty for the rest of the year, and ways NSNA can increase “old” revenues and create new ones to counteract the losses experienced as a result of the cancellation of the 2020 NSNA Convention and projected low membership registration rates. However, summer is a great time to start thinking about how your boards can meet during this lockdown period to plan for the upcoming semester, and how to pull your local or state chapter's finances and records together before the busy time of the school year begins again.  ​
