Heartland District Budget

FY 13

LAST SOLO BUDGET

» Fiscal Year 2013 (2012-2013) is the last year for separate administrative functions for Heartland

» By July 1, 2013, we will have a unified administrative structure, including budget, for Heartland, Central MidWest and Prairie Star Districts, regardless of governance decisions

» Next year will be asked to accept the budget for MidAmerica for FY14

WHY?

» Three reasons for amalgamated service delivery:

» Changing nature of religious communities and trends in religion find us needing to do different work, and do it differently

» Technology allows us to do the work without being limited by physical geography

» We can no longer financially afford to do business as we used to in this area
