2. Why do we need a narrative budget again this year?
Why? Because while our vision remains the same, other things do change.
We have learned how to better serve our members.
We are instituting a new organizational structure.
We are planning for our 90th year celebration.
Our vision remains the same, but how we execute it is changing, and that is the story this
narrative tells.
