Budget allocations for auxiliaries etc.
Posted: Sat Jul 30, 2011 6:59 am
My new Bishop isn't the most PC savvy guy in the world. The previous Bishop who's moved away recently never set a budget for anyone nor gave me information to assist in that area.
Does a budget NEED to be set? Our previous Bishop preferred to have all reimbursements written to each auxiliary, but there was no budget set, he would then set the budget at the end of the year so that the numbers all matched up... makes it hard for me when a secretary or president asks what is left in the budget and I can only shrug or show them a blank screen.
My job is to make the Bishop's job easier, not complicate it, but I am not sure what priority a set budget for each group is. I am uncomfortable bugging a brand new bishop to ask him to set a budget for the auxiliaries so late into the year.
Any help you can give, advice or links to information and policy would be helpful.
I appreciate all you do!
