Thank you brothers for watching this brief video.

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

I would like to give you some background for the significant changes in

0:11

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

the budgeting process and explain a few things.

0:14

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

To make the adjustments a success we

0:19

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

need your help.

0:20

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

You might recall that in the past few years the governing

0:25

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

body has asked branches and headquarters departments to

0:29

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

carefully consider measures to reduce our operational spending.

0:33

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Now with operational spending what do we mean?

0:38

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

These are the expenses needed to keep operating our

0:42

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

battle facilities,

0:43

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

RTOs,

0:44

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

as well as our other field facilities.

0:47

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Other operational expenses include printing,

0:51

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

shipping,

0:52

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

transportation,

0:54

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

and of course,

0:55

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

and the biggest expense,

0:57

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

our people costs.

1:01

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

we are not referring to our large construction projects.

1:05

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

As you know,

1:06

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

they have a separate budget.

1:08

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Like in a family household,

1:10

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

the organization has allocated funds to care for

1:14

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

these new and large construction and renovation projects.

1:18

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Coming back to our operational spending.

1:22

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

And despite good efforts,

1:24

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

significant increases continue.

1:27

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Thank you for trying so hard.

1:30

S… Speaker 2 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Yet,

1:32

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Increases in the scope of our work and inflation

1:36

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

have contributed to increases that are no longer sustainable.

1:40

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

In other words,

1:41

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

our operational expenses are higher than

1:45

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

the donations.

1:46

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

While this is not yet a crisis,

1:50

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

we can still pay our bills,

1:52

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

but if our spending keeps going up each

1:56

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

year, stronger actions will be needed.

1:59

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Therefore,

2:02

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

the governing body expressed the interest in avoiding drastic changes

2:06

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

that will be very painful.

2:08

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Instead,

2:09

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

they ask everybody to start making adjustments today.

2:13

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

These adjustments,

2:16

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

over time,

2:17

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

will bring us back to a more sustainable budget in line

2:21

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

with donations.

2:22

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

As explained in the letter about the

2:26

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

adjusted budgeting process,

2:28

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

we can no longer ask what the financial needs

2:32

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

are,

2:34

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

but will need to distribute the budget from world headquarters based

2:38

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

on priorities.

2:39

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

For the first time all governing body

2:43

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

committees and their headquarter departments are asked to

2:47

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

work within a defined global budget.

2:50

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

And they will need to work with you to

2:54

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

accommodate your needs.

2:56

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

We have seen that it's very difficult for you to adjust

3:00

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

your branch budget

3:02

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

when at the same time you are asked to accommodate increased work assignments from

3:07

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

headquarters.

3:07

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

Just to make an easy example,

3:11

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

how can you avoid an increase in your budget when

3:16

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

you are asked to host an international convention?

3:18

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

From now on,

3:22

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

in a situation like this,

3:23

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

you will get additional budget for it,

3:26

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

while at the same time,

3:28

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

branches that had an international convention in the previous year will

3:32

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

free up the budget room.

3:35

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

As said,

3:36

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

this is an easy example.

3:38

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

But it does illustrate the principle that the headquarter departments

3:42

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

will work within.

3:43

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

We understand that

3:47

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

this first year we all will experience a bumpy road.

3:51

S… Speaker 1 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)

We do not expect that everything will be smooth from the beginning.

3:55

S… Speaker 2 (updates_to_the_annual_budget_processs)
