About

The Finance Committee oversees BWIB’s financial health by managing the annual budget, monitoring income and expenses, and tracking cash flow. It determines the appropriate use of organizational funds, establishes membership dues, and ensures all spending aligns with the organization’s mission. The committee also handles required financial filings and evaluates the feasibility of new programs and events to support informed board decision-making.
