[Chapter-delegates] Bank Accounts was - deadline for admin funding

[Christine Saegesser]

Thanks Alex and Andrew, 

I’d just like to confirm that we are working with the Malta Chapter to help them through their rejuvenation process. This includes the development of a plan to address these challenges together with the local volunteers and in accordance with the Chapter Charter Letter. 

Best, 

Christine

The current arrangement (which, as Joyce pointed out, went through the ChAC SC and the whole AC) is something that all the Chapters consistently agree to. That consistency is also to the benefit of the overall Chapter system.

We will continue to look at ways to make this less onerous for Chapters where this is a problem, but I don't wish to mislead people into thinking this is a small issue or one where there is a lot of hope for easy solutions.  As I have already indicated in this thread, I've heard from other US non-profit people who work internationally; it is a general problem, and it has become harder in recent years.
