Action Plans</h3> <p><strong>AP1: Support Society’s Sustainable Financial Model (Lead: VP Finance).</strong></p> <p>(2020-2021):</p> <ul> <li>The overall financial vision is to maximize our available funding for the benefit of our members while keeping the finances healthy. The general goals for achieving this vision are to: o Establish reasonable and achievable financial targets that include a buffer in case there are unexpected over-expenditures during the yearly budgetary process. <ul> <li>Do not overspend each year’s budget in all categories during the operational year.</li> <li>Provide guidance and advice to the ITSS leadership to avoid any possible financial pitfalls in any budgetary area.</li> <li>Seek out and provide funding to support specific programmatic needs (e.g., education, technical activities, awards, etc.).</li> <li>Work with the ITSS leadership and members to encourage the development of new ITSS initiatives.</li> <li>Monitor and track the progress of the ITSS initiatives.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>In 2020, we need to watch the budget carefully, due to the COVID19 situation and associated economic fallout. Specific action items include: o Make sure every planned conference does not go in the red, with the goal of achieving at least a breakeven status. <ul> <li>Determine any potential savings from travels that do not take place, and apply those savings to other budgetary areas that may suffer from the current financial situation (e.g., conferences).</li> <li>Adjust our membership offerings, in order to maintain our current membership numbers, and possibly increase membership.</li> <li>Adjust our publication page numbers, so that we maximize the income for publications; direct these publication profits to other activities within the society, e.g., technical activities, educational activities, local chapters, etc.</li> <li>As part of the 2021 budgetary process, be extra conservative in our spending plans while our society experiences an economic recovery.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>(2020-2025/Performance Metrics):</p> <ul> <li>The general performance metrics and targets established for ITSS include: o Have a net positive budget balance in the range of 2.5% – 5% of our overall revenue. To date, the ITS society has been around 5% – 10%, which can be considered to be too conservative each year. The target in the next five years is to achieve a yearly net positive budget balance in the range of 2.5% to 5%. <ul> <li>Have an initiative funding spend-out rate of 100%. To date, the ITS society has been around 75% each year. The target in the next five years is to achieve a yearly initiative funding spend-out rate in the range of 90% to 100%.</li> <li>For every new publication, have a time to positive income in less than five years. To date, the ITS society has achieved this goal, with the exception of the ITS Magazine. The target in the next five years is to achieve a net positive balance with the ITS Magazine, and for the ITS Open Journal. o For each ITSS conference, have the conference income reserve at 20%. To date, our conferences have often been too profitable, having a reserve in the range of 20% to 50% or greater.
