IEEE Central Texas Section My Guidance Please no separate bank accounts Please try to operate within your budget, but let me know if you need additional $ Paying volunteers or independent contractors requires approval by IEEE in New Jersey. CTS cannot approve Please fully document conference agreements with MOA's (with CTS signatures), including budgets, details for cost sharing, penalties, liabilitie s

IEEE Central Texas Section Chairman's Thoughts on CTS Finances Relatively healthy financial state, but generating income is needed IEEE is evaluating Sections for assessment to pay for STAFF pensions. Society mini conferences are a good thing Section and chapters need to promote CTS as a conference location NO TRAVEL APPROVED UNTIL A TRAVEL REQUEST WITH ESTIMATED COST IS SUBMIT AND APPROVED BY THE SECTION CHAIR
