Audit Committee
(Chair of Committee: Mike Hardesty)
(Committee Members: BJ McBride and Jake Phillips)
-Looking over the financial reports of BASIC, Advanced and the Executive Director, the committee found expenditures to be adequate and appropriate for their normal operations
-One small area of concern was cost of shirts at Advanced--$13 seemed high per person.
-Also of concern outstanding deposits for Advanced account in November--may need to look at payments being due in September.
BUDGET COMMITTEE:
(Chair of Committee: Josh Taylor)
(Committee Members: Jarrod Morse and John Santee)
-We have retained an accountant that specializes in non-profits to help us reinstate our non-profit status.
-We lost the status in 2008, so we need to audit the last nine years to get reinstated.
-The maximum cost for the accountant is $11000 this year.
-We have the greatest summer workshops in the nation, but our workshops are not breaking even; therefore, we recommend that we raise the price $25 per delegate for every workshop and raise late fees to $50 per student,
-We recommend that we raise scholarships by $25.
-We recommend the Executive Director look into password protected downloads instead of DVD's as they are falling out of favor with this generation and the postage cost is $1500.
-Cost of Gold Chapter plaques/Awards/Gavels went up $1000 due to not having a Vo-Ag program make them anymore.

Need a little diversity?
OASC Spreading Diversity Conference
Del City High School
Date: Feb 17, 2018
Time: 9am-2pm
Does your council look like all the same person? Are you all cheerleaders? female? same race? Is your school diverse and your council is not? Are you a small school and want to learn more? Or do you just want to learn how to get involved in the OASC more and become a stronger council?
Spreading Diversity Conference is going to help your council to get more kids involved in your school, along with getting your council more active in the OASC. You will learn about open councils, school spirit, basic/advanced and more. You will hear from both officer schools and even other schools. We can all learn from one another and this is where we start. We will even feed you lunch.
Cost is $10 per person. Recommend to only bring your officers. This conference is not state convention. This conference will even benefit delegates along with advisors. All profits will be used for basic scholarships. Schools that attend will be placed in a drawing for one free basic admission. The number of admissions depends on you! The more that come, the more scholarships.
Registration will open Dec 15. Watch the OASC First and the website to register. We hope to see you there.
