Money well spent!!  Thanks Neal and to the CHAS Members and Leadership for bringing great value!

 

 

Dear CHAS Members:

 

Beginning the New Year is a time for budgets and looking at finances.  As a loyal CHAS member, you pay $12 dues per year and $36 for your subscription to the Journal of Chemical Health and Safety.  I hope you understand the many benefits of membership and I will leave that conversation for another time.  Today, I want to explain what your dues is used for.  Here is a high-level analysis of income and expenses, based on 2017 numbers:

 

Dues Income                                                                                                             $46,715.00

Expenses

 

JCHAS Publication cost                                                                                             $32,916.00

Awards & Regional Meetings                                                                                    $3,299.00

Direct expenses for 2 Open Meetings of CHAS per year                                          $3,762.00

Reimbursement for Elected & Appointed Leadership to attend Open Meetings     $17,674.00

Exhibit Hall Outreach Booth                                                                                      $8,801.00

Total Expenses                                                                                                           $66,452.00

 

The roughly $20,000 deficit is made up by income from workshops, some non-dues income from ACS, and donations.

Note: CHAS members who are elected leaders or appointed committee chairs are eligible for partial reimbursement of expenses to attend the Sunday morning open CHAS meeting.  This covers travel, one-night lodging, and meals.  Elected leaders receive a maximum of $700/meeting and appointed Chairs receive a maximum $450.  Our program Chairs and Councilors receive a higher reimbursement based on the requirement that they attend the entire National Meeting.
