Once the budget is prepared, it is then presented to the Executive Committee for review at the June meeting preceding the Annual Convention . At the first meeting immediately following the Annual Convention, the Executive Committee will adopt the new fiscal year budget.

The Budget and Revenue Committee is responsible for the implementation of the budget and the maintenance of such throughout the fiscal year. The Committee will periodically make recommendations which will result in improved financial operations and fiscal conservation.
