Executive Directors 
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and COMMUNITY
This Budget Calendar is intended to provide a general timeline along with due dates of steps necessary to complete the 2016 Budget.  
It includes steps to be performed by Executive Director and community staff, with involvement from Local Advisory Boards and the 
community Budget & Finance Committee (which includes resident participation). 
The Executive Director will work with the Local Advisory Board & community Budget & Finance Committee to educate, solicit budget 
input, and review budget assumptions.  The exact nature of this interaction and the participants in this process will vary by 
community.  The ultimate goal is for the Local Advisory Board to gain enough understanding and general agreement with the budget 
assumptions to be able to recommend it's adoption to both the residents and the ABHOW Board.    The Local Advisory Board needs to 
ensure that community Budget & Finance Committee meetings have been scheduled to accommodate the deadlines outlined in this 
calendar.
