Chapter of the Month
Congratulations to the January Chapter of the Month, Florida Suncoast!
FLORIDA SUNCOAST CHAPTER: Chapter Financial Review Guide & Checklist
SUMMARY: The Florida Suncoast Chapter developed a comprehensive guide and checklist to simplify the annual CARE financial review process for chapters. The resource provides a clear, step-by-step template that anyone can follow, from appointing a reviewer to completing and submitting a standardized report. Pilot use with two chapters demonstrated that financial reviews could be completed efficiently and consistently, reducing confusion and effort for volunteers. By providing a practical, easy-to-follow framework, the chapter empowered others to conduct financial reviews with minimal fuss, ensuring compliance while strengthening transparency and accountability.
