Expenses
Overall, expenses were controlled. Total expenses were $59,117 less than
budget Direct expenses were $257,217 less than
budgeted Staff & Administrative costs were $198,100
over budget
Direct Program Expenses
$257,217 in savings were spread throughout almost all programs
Savings achieved in spite of spending that was not budgeted for:– SSEC / National Staff Retreat $26,000– Jump Start Fund Requests $61,400– Conclusion of Member Survey $17,100– Executive Search Committee $11,000
Staff & Support Costs
Overrun of $198,100 is due to several factors:– Heavy reliance on temps, especially in first
months of year, to clean up the dues processing backlog and get us back on track.
– Severance package to former Executive Director– Rapid growth of online transactions, especially
dues payments (credit card fees range from 2.75% to 4% of transaction total)
Conclusion
Trends identified in earlier reports continued through the fourth quarter of operations
We continue to experience a revenue decline, and this was the major factor in sustaining the FY 2007 operating deficit.
Looking Forward
Our major challenge is to increase current revenue streams and to find new ones
We budgeted for flat dues revenue in 2008, carrying the 2007 budget forward
The actual shortfall of $266,700 in dues revenue presents a stiff challenge to make up for in our new year.
We must recruit aggressively & be cautious in our spending.
Recommendation
That a transfer be approved from the NSPE Reserve Fund to the NSPE Operating Fund that is sufficient to cover the fiscal year 2006/07 operating deficit, approximately $270,289.
