Description

This two-day workshop is designed for directors who have been in their position 18 months or less and ideally should be the second component directors sign up for in the New Directors Institute. This workshop is designed to give directors grounding in the steps necessary to give sound oversight to fiscal aspects of the center program. This workshop will focus on the aspects of developing a realistic budget. Throughout the process of creating this budget, we will continually discuss the fiscal impact of your centers choices and goals. Together, we will also identify ways to meet the common challenge of providing quality care. In order to meet this challenge, we will look at the fiscal impact of staffing patterns, a method for projecting realistic income, how to create a program budget, how to calculate the cost of care and how to set fees at appropriate levels. We will conclude with the tools of good budget management. Business managers and accountants are welcome to attend with the director.
