Changing the name of this department from Training and Education to Training and Standardization is meant to enhance the follow-through of all our programs and requirements at state level. At times, a breakdown happens with lack of follow-through, as in what we do with the information that is learned. Why do so many members who are in charge of a program, or a report, never received the correct or current details?
The answer is that it was not shared in its completed form with all of the membership who are responsible for completing the required tasks (or we just didn’t read the directions).
Financial Secretary Training
This FS training class was held with 40 in attendance. Concerns of the class were annual 990 reporting, per-capita payments, and getting ready for 2027 dues billing. Homework was assigned !
A couple of items of info from asst. FS Trainer and “Big Brother” Terry Krysl tjktysl@gmail.com
Issuing dues notices – The billing amount is determined as of the Jan 1st date. When a member is to become an Honorary or Honorary Life member during the upcoming year, the database does not take this into account.
Dues assessments per member – total $27.00
Supreme Per Capita (3 of them) – $6.50 per year (billed as $3.25 for six months)
State Charities – $10 (assessed based on all members, including Honorary Life members who pay no dues)
State Per Capita – $10
Chapter – $0.50 per member
Knights database – Delivery Preference
in member billing information – New and transfer members automatically populate to “Mail”. Members are moved to “Mail” when other data for them is updated in the database. Once must manually change from “Mail” to “Both” to allow for email and postal mail to received by them.
