Some Interesting Rules$ = IEEE $Chapter support = $200 + $75 Society-provided $ are for the chapter

meeting expensesChapters may.....• plan conferences and workshops,

but CTS must be involved

IEEE Central Texas Section

My Guidance Please no separate bank accounts Please try to operate within your budget, but

let me know if you need additional $ Paying volunteers or independent

contractors requires approval by IEEE in New Jersey. CTS cannot approve

Please fully document conference agreements with MOA's (with CTS signatures), including budgets, details for cost sharing, penalties, liabilities

IEEE Central Texas Section

Chairman's Thoughts on CTS Finances

Relatively healthy financial state, but generating income is needed

IEEE is evaluating Sections for assessment to pay for STAFF pensions.

Society mini conferences are a good thing Section and chapters need to promote CTS as a

conference location NO TRAVEL APPROVED UNTIL A TRAVEL

REQUEST WITH ESTIMATED COST IS SUBMIT AND APPROVED BY THE SECTION CHAIR
