ILA Noon Network: Take a Strategic Approach to Budgeting
March 5, 2025
Noon-1:00pm
Registration Required
This webinar is presented by the ILA Human Resources & Administration Forum (HRAF).
Your budget should incorporate the strategic priorities of your library and be moving you along a sustainable path. How do you do your budget? Are you considering the impact of future needs and taxes, or is the budget focused on the coming year only? Does expedience take priority?
This webinar provides some space to think about budgeting and give you some ways to make the budgeting process more organized and effective. We'll introduce practices that make the budget a more useful tool.
A number of strategies are used for budgeting, and no one strategy fits all libraries, but certainly one will feel right for you! We'll also talk about how the budget connects to the B&A and levy, so that you can complete all three with greater ease. Hopefully, you'll leave this webinar feeling excited about the preparing for the coming year.
