Section Session Allocation

This formula is based on the number of members at the end of the membership year (i.e., September 30th each year). Sections meeting on the last day also earn 1 bonus session in addition to the numbers above.

Section Budget Allocation

Council has established the following system for allocating funds to sections for their activities:

· Each section will receive a base budget allocation, unless their total membership falls below 300 (see below).

· Every section will receive $2 per member.

· The first year that a section is below the 300-member requirement, the base amount will be calculated by dividing the total number of section members by 300 and multiplying the result by 1000; the $2 per member allocation will remain unchanged.

· If a section remains below the required number of 300 members for a second year, the base amount will be reduced in half if (1) a section has 200 or more members, or (2) will be eliminated if a section has less than 200 members; these sections will only receive the $2 per member allocation.
