CPLA: Budget and Finance Workshop






Where: Saratoga Springs Public Library, Harry Dutcher Community Room

Gain the skills and knowledge to effectively manage all aspects of the library budget process, presented by Sandra Nelson.

At the end of the training program, participants will be able to assign budget responsibilities, describe the typical sources of library funding, identify typical budget categories, compare and contrast four types of budgets, prepare a program budget from a line-item budget, link the budget process to the library’s strategic planning priorities, develop performance measures and operations indicators for specific library services, complete a cost-benefit analysis, establish fiscal controls and manage their cash flow, evaluate sources of funding for a capital campaign, and develop an effective budget presentation.

SALS’ directors  should look forward to an email mid-summer.  Library managers outside of SALS, please go to the CPLA website for registration.
