  • Make use of the budget tool and dues payment tracker in the resources section.
  • Both Easy Speak and FreeToastHost have tools to get the word out about dues payments.
  • You should coordinate with the SAA to make an inventory report, then query the other officers for possible expenses for the year when creating your budget.
  • Use a bank or credit union that has electronic check deposit through your smart phone to save the hassle of having to manually deposit checks.
  • Research how to take credit cards or other electronic payments, like Paypal, to increase the ease and speed of payments for new and renewing members. Fewer people want to use checks.
  • If you accept cash payments, have envelopes to put the money in with the person's name written on the envelope.
