Member’s Registry and Financial Reporting:

  1. The report created by the system in the payment will then be combined with the Treasurers’ list from methods 1, 2 & 3 to create an overall “Active Contributing Members Registry” in quarterly basis.
  2. The Secretary, working together with the Treasurer, will be releasing a progressive financial report every quarter, highlighting the funds raised and the total number of active contributing members in each category without revealing their names or identities.
