Summary
The Finance Committee has examined the financial information for the organization for FY2015. In short,
this body is dismayed at where the organization is financially as we celebrate our associations 40th
birthday.
List of recommendations
Implement a monthly payment plan for Convention Registration. The overall cost of this option
would be slightly more but would attract and get more commitment from attendees
o This will give a better indication of actual number of attendees and revenue forecast
projections
Launch a monthly subscription program for NABJ Members that would give access to monthly
career/skillbuilding webinars and a forum or chat board to engage with members
o Offer sponsors the opportunity to be subject matter experts to present on topics to NABJ
membership and job opportunities etc.
o Create opportunities for ongoing sponsorship revenue
o Highlight members: career accomplishments
NABJ-NAHJ
Relationship
Negotiate with NAHJ to increase registration rates for the 2016 Convention. Both associations
must take advantage of the draw of Washington DC as well as reflect the cost of doing business
in D.C.
Increase the current proposed Job Fair booths by 50%. The current proposed rates are from NABJ
Convention in 2015. These groups cannot afford to provide 2 for 1 price for job fair participants.
Re-examine split with NAHJ, especially expenses. If NABJ executes joint related activities,
NAHJ must be billed for those expenses, i.e. communications comes to mind.
Cash flow concerns with NABJ funds coming after convention. NABJ must receive funds as it
comes in.
