4 Diversify Our Revenue
As our nancial landscape shifts, we must strengthen our nancial foundation. We will be innovative
in our approach. We will be strategic in our implementation as we e ectively leverage the broadest support necessary to achieve sustainable growth. We will do this in a way that ensures autonomy in our ability to represent our members.
Our Commitments
Over the next ten years, we commit to “Diversify Our Revenue” by:
4.1. Leveraging opportunities and assets: seeking ways to diversify revenue streams, such as sponsorships, new events, and fee-for-service o erings, that will ensure the continuity of valued programs and services.
4.2. Expanding the membership: creating a nancially sustainable membership base by broadening the structure, membership categories, and o ering clear bene ts.
4.3. Exploring project funding: fostering government relations in a way that supports aligned third party stakeholder initiatives, targeted projects and deliverables, as opposed to core operational funding
