ILiA
Finances 2008
Thank you for your
interest in the Integral Leadership in Action (ILiA) conference and its
related finances. ILiA is currently an unincorporated, fully
volunteer organization, loosely organized as a “Next Conference Circle”
(NCC), who have organized and are putting on this conference. It
is NCC’s current volunteer organizers’ collective intent to balance the
need for individual privacy with accountability and transparency about
the decisions surrounding the activities of ILiA. Flowing
from this intent, below you will find our 2008 conference pricing and
budget structure. Our aim is to share with you the overall
expected income and expenses and the expected allocation and
distribution.
___________________________________________________________
Income
- For 2008, ILiA has established
tiered rates for registering for the Collaborative Main event.
These rates are:
A. Early
Registration: $495 (until
July 15)
B.
Regular Registration: $595 (until Sept 25)
C.
Late Registration:
$695 (after Sept 25)
- This year,
there is a cap of 60 paid participants. For budgeting purposes, our
assumption is that there will be 60 paying guests and that all
registrations will take place by July 15th.
Total Anticipated Income from the Main Collaborative Event is $29,700.
|
- Major
expense categories are as follows
A. Venue
Costs
$7200
B.
Marketing/Other Admin
$1750
C.
Key Note Speakers/Presenters
$7000
D.
ILiA Organization Seed & 2009 Conference $5000
Total Anticipated
Expenses from the Main Collaborative Event is $20,950.
|
- These
costs represent the support of many individuals who have made
concessions in support of this endeavor. As an example, it
is a partnership arrangement with the venue and keynote
speakers/presenter where there are no up-front payments, and all
receive payment and reimbursement after the conference. Individuals
within ILiA NCC and BCIL have provided all early expenses.
- This
year, all presenters (aside from the keynotes) are volunteering and
traveling at their own expense. Thank you in advance for your support
on both the conference and accommodating our current financial
capabilities.
- As indicated
under expenses, we have set a side a modest amount to fund next year’s
conference and seed ILiA.
Net Income
Based on the assumptions above, a total
overage of $8,750 is anticipated.
|
- With
this overage fund, it is ILiA’s goal to provide expense relief to
presenters and active NCC personnel. Much of their efforts have
been in the background and many hours and days as volunteers.
This is our way of acknowledging and supporting their time and efforts
- As a first step,
an email was sent to these individuals asking them to confidentially
select among the following categories of expense relief:
A. Strong Need for
Assistance - Not from Local Area
B.
Strong Need for Assistance - From Local Area
C.
Expense Relief Appreciated - Not from Local Area
D. No
Need for Expense Relief – Will accept free tuition only
- The members of
the Finance Committee will maintain their responses confidential.
- ILiA will provide
the highest amount of expense relief to those individuals who self
identified as Category A. The next highest level of expense
relief will be provided to those who self identified as being in
Category B. Finally, the lowest level of expense relief
will be provided to those individuals who self identified in Category
C. We acknowledge and appreciate all those who are in a financial
situation that allows them to select Category D (covering all of their
own expenses, etc.), as it increases the amount of available funds to
be distributed between A, B, and C.
______________________________________________
All expense numbers are estimates; actual income and expense
information will be available after the conference has completed and
will be posted on the ILiA website. As our goal to create a repeatable,
sustainable model that ILiA can use in future years, we welcome your
comments and ideas.
Sincerely,
The
Finance Committee
