  5. Conference Financial Proposal • Local, regional, and global, should be executing a profit sharing model with the foundation.   • 70/30 split (negotiable based on expenditure mapping by the local chapter) should be the norm.   • Alternative split is negotiable based on a budget submitted by the local chapter to justify futurespending.  ALL local events that charge admission or collect sponsorship funding be run through the foundation.   • This includes registrations, accounting, contracts, etc.  It seems to follow, then, that the Chapter Committee will need to includethese requirements in the chapter handbook.SummaryAll finances for local, regional, and global events must be handled by thefoundation.  The foundation will designate 30% of the event funds to thelocal chapters with 70% going back to the foundation.  The local chapterfunds will then be managed by the foundation.  If they are not handled at a“corporate level” then I would believe we run the risk of misuse of funds.It seems to be a step toward protecting the chapter leaders fromaccusations, more than protecting the money.  Reimbursements will be madeor, in cases of event planning, payments will be made in advance based oncontractual obligations.
