The Budget Committee consists of the Treasurer, the President and the Executive Vice President.

The purpose of this committee is to prepare and present the annual operational budget of the chapter to the Finance Committee, which is comprised of non-discretionary budget items. “Non-discretionary budget items” are those expected expenditures that are necessary to carry out the operational plan of the association within any given year. Many of these expenses are dictated by chapter bylaws or by motions approved by the Assembly of Representatives. Others are determined by assessing the requests of the various panels and committees in view of the FPTA strategic plan, recognizing that total expenditures are constrained by expected revenue.
