* | *Keith has been president for 1 year, board member for longer. It was a busy year for staff, board members, and volunteers. In February we were in a cash crunch, but with a huge response to our fundraising drive around ~$60k donated. Our budget now is in a much better spot. These finanical pressures were 2-3 years in the making. These year we aim to have an operational cash cushion in March (when our reserves are typically lowest). We get a casino every 2 years, next one in mid-2025. | ||
16 board members have joined this year, and many have not been able to continue due to life circumstances or the workload that the board entails. Staff have been putting in a huge amount of work also. Changes this year include losing our executive director and board becoming an operational board; closed south shop and consolidated to North side (with a storage space downtown). Keith is proud of the work that has gone into making those changes successful. We remain in union negotiations-- had negotiations in November with previous ED Greg and in May with the bargaining committee of the board-- and we will be asking one of the new board members today to join the committee. We understanding that membership expects us to get this done. Scheduling with the union has been a barrier. | |||
