So, I'd say we would definitely benefit from a fundraising. It is not *urgent* but we need to anticipate before it becomes urgent.
I told the board before that I will not run another fundraiser without the help from a duly created fundraising committee. Nobody from the board has proposed the creation of such a committee yet and I won't waste my time (as I did with trying to help staff the finance committee) until the board acts.
Now, now...shhhh
Right, we never succeeded to create a decent financial committee. This said, I am not convinced the fundraising should be part of the financial committee (it involves as well technical needs, communication issues etc...) and I would suggest that we should not get stuck on such bureaucratic details.
Let's simply create a fundraising committee. If some one wants to dissolve it later, or attached it to another already existing committee... fine.
Can you draft for us a resolution with * the creation of a fundraising committee * description of the goal * a team * a delegation for this fundraising
I'll post it on the board wiki and we'll see if the board acts (votes...)
(make it several resolutions if you feel necessary)
We also really should pass a budget for the rest of the year before we have a fundraiser. I'm going to send the spending forecast you aleady have to the officers and committees this weekend. Hopefully, it won't take long to turn that into a proposed budget for the board to vote one.
