]]> EXPLANATION FOR BUDGET TO BE VOTED ON BY DELEGATES  [Electronic voting will be open between October 23 – 25]

Below, please find the Zonta International District 1 Budget for the Biennium 2024-2026, as proposed by the District 1 Board of Directors. You will note that the document is broken down as follows:

  • The white column is the current biennium budget (2022-2024)
  • The blue column is the projected actual income and expenses for this biennium (2022-2024)
  • The green column is the proposed budget for 2024-2026 with an explanation under “Description of Line Item”.

Your District Board has worked diligently to prepare a budget for the next biennium, June 1, 2024-May 31, 2026, that reflects our desire to keep costs down and encourage future leadership. In order to balance this current biennium’s budget, it has been necessary for D1 Board members to make in-kind donations. While the District Manual and the District Rules of Procedures state that reimbursement should be made for Board member conference expenses, it was not able to be met this biennium.

In this year’s budget, you will see projected actual costs based on factors known at this time (blue column). The Board’s reluctant decision is to propose increasing our annual dues by $6. This increase to $28 per member is still the lowest district dues in North America. We are all aware that costs have gone up over the past years.

We have attempted to be as transparent as possible. If your club has questions, please send them to zdist1treasurer@gmail.com so that we can be prepared to answer them at the meeting on October 23.

Below is the 2023 Year-End Budget Report
