clarify
The '''Fundraising Committee ''' of The Augustan Society, Inc., is responsible for all fundraising activities, and for advising on suitable pricing and profit margins for all products offered by the Society. It is normally chaired by the [[Treasurer]] or a Fundraising Chairman who is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Treasurer.
At present, the entire [[Board|Board of Directors]] have been seated as a Committee-of-the-Whole to serve as the Fundraising Committee, with the [[President]] serving as Chairman.Common fundraising programs include:
Current fundraising programs include: * [[2014 Annual Fundraiser]] (complete, but funds not yet distributed)* [[2015 Fundraiser]] (in progress)
* [["Buy-A-Box"]] Program, to fund Library shelving and other equipment.
* ''[[Augustan Omnibus]]'' advertising
* [[Sponsored Membership|Sponsorship]] campaign* ''Dictionary of British Arms Medieval'' (complete but for purchase)* [[Book Repair]] campaign
Other programs may existfrom time to time, and the [[Sub-Groups]] may operate their own fundraising programs outside the control of this Committee. In some years, the [[Budget]] has been adopted with fundraising goals set without consulting this Committee, occasionally leading to unrealistic goals. This practice should be discouraged. In some years, the Board has decided to forego the use of a Budget. Not as unwise as it may appear, at this point our only discretionary spending is on Collection Development, Book Repair, and the rare capital purchase, all of which will be submitted to the Board for prior approval.
To date, the [[Budget]] has been adopted with fundraising goals that are set without consulting this Committee, possibly leading to unrealistic goals, but as the Board and Committee have identical membership, there is no recourse.
