A fundamental purpose of Chi Sigma Iota International is to honor excellence in counseling both at the chapter and international levels. Successful counselors serve as role models so that those they assist can emulate their effectiveness in managing the various aspects of their lives. At an organizational level, effective money management strategies are essential to the growth and maintenance of an organization. Counselors functioning within organizations must effectively manage finances if those organizations are to prosper. An organization does not automatically manage its finances effectively.
Careful planning is an essential ingredient in effective financial management of an organization.
CSI International serves as an example of an organization run by counselors for counselors that shows continued growth both in membership and finances. By observing our many chapters, it is clear that some are more financially healthy than others are. A challenge for all chapters is to develop their full financial potential. An important first step in developing financial fitness is to develop a set of policies that will serve as money management guidelines. This packet contains a set of financial policies that can be tailored to the needs of individual chapters.
