Senior management, department heads and staff reviewed all aspects of ALA’s operation, identifying numerous areas where it is believed some cost savings can be realized in FY13. The Executive Board reviewed, discussed and supported the recommendations.

Note – This is management’s best estimate of how the rest of FY13 will move forward. Enhancements by the new financial management system put ALA staff in a better position to project results.

Additionally - BARC, F&A, and the Executive Board support the decision that if end of FY13 results are more positive than projected, staff will receive some compensation.
