Meeting of the Ulster County Library Association.

Join co-authors of the Handbook for Library Trustees of New York State Jerry Nichols and Rebekkah Smith Aldrich for this fun and informative series! Each month trustees are encouraged to read a chapter of the Trustee Handbook and send in questions that the authors will address. 

Before the event: 

• Please read the  Budgets & Finance  chapter ahead of this session. 
• Thoughts to consider before the program: 
  • Is your long-range plan taken into consideration during the budget planning process? 
  • Once your budget is drafted by the director, is it reviewed by the treasurer and Finance Committee before presented to the full board? 
  • Does your board have adequate policies and procedures in place to make budget adjustments during the course of the fiscal year? 
  • Does your board have a capital fund, and a related capital fund reserve policy, to save for high-cost activities related to the facility? 
  • Does your board engage in a process of multi-year budget planning to prepare for the future?
