As per the Lodge Rules, the Lodge Vice Chief of Finance prepares a proposed budget for the next lodge year and submits it for approval at the Fall Fellowship Business Meeting. Once approved, this budget serves as the operating budget for the next fiscal year unless modified by the Lodge Executive Committee. Each Lodge Officer has the authority to utilize budgeted funds within a designated sub-team section of their budget. The Lodge Vice Chief of Finance presents reports of financial activity at all lodge business meetings and at other such times as deemed appropriate. For questions related to the lodge budget or the periodic financial reports, contact the Vice Chief of Finance.
