Methodology

Event Contribution Margin

Net = Event Revenue − Direct Event Expense. Allocations for shared national office overhead are excluded to preserve pure event economics.

Reclassifications

Meals-to-facilities and photography-to-marketing reclassifications are documented in the Financial Controls section; totals are preserved.

Period Comparability

H1 2025 and H1 2026 use identical Jan 1 – Jun 30 windows. Interim periods are internally-managed and unaudited.

Source-Data Lineage

The current build uses executive-brief baseline seed data curated by the Finance Committee. Later phases will connect the Admin Data Center to load QuickBooks / IPEDS-style extracts, with reconciliation status indicators surfaced in Financial Controls.
