Club Finance, we work with you to setup your club finance reporting. This workshop will help your club Treasury deliver reporting and processes to manage the club finances and taxes. Most clubs have substantial funds in the bank. this workshop will  get your club setup  for a little more reporting with better visibility as to how the clubs is spending the money and track the income and expenses compared with previous season. This is a must attend for club Treasurers  

Partnering with the Forest Service, we will have a guest presenter from the Forest Service to share best practices for your club to get your projects from the planning board to shovel ready projects eligible for Forest Service grants and approval.  Great for those members in the club that deal with Trail Maintenance and working with the Forest Service in your area.
