I couldn't find a standard answer in the information I used, but I would guess that it would be the person preparing and managing the budget for the organization.

Who, in an organization, generally produces these models?

Sometimes I think we get stuck in the now, and so we do not properly prepare for what is to come. Of course planning for the present is very important, but you also have to be prepared for what is going to come in the future. Short term and long term goals have to be planned this way also. Your extra resources were great also!Ckennedy10https://www.blogger.com/profile/02480864961883003925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795484774796707167.post-13998393780104464592013-04-17T18:58:13.570-07:002013-04-17T18:58:13.570-07:00Thank you for your comments.

The values included in your budgeting are as important to the organization as the money itself. It can be a challenge to find a good balance between implementing your values, providing your service and being a good employer.

Another important factor in budgeting is values. A budget puts your mission, vision and values in to action. <br /><br />What kind of organizational culture do you want to create? Do you believe that continuing education is vital to the future of the organization? Is the value of empowering volunteers backed with enough capacity to recruit,mentor and supervise those volunteers? Are you modeling healthy community by making sure your staff have wellness benefits?<br /><br />A very real challenge many organizations deal with,is the disparity between the staffing levels required to move the mission forward and funds available to do so. How do you live your values,provide necessary services and be a good employer? Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893620633568777923noreply@blogger.com
