Recommendation 2402-2: Equitable Engagement Budget Framework:
1) Maximum contract length = 3 months, renewal requires evaluation based on how many new members are signed up.
2) All proposed budget requests must include a goal of how many new members will be signed up for each target population.
3) Evaluation will be based on the cost per new member actually signed up. Contracts that exceed a cost of $500 per new member will require a vote from the membership and board before that contract is renewed. If the new member becomes a board member the cost per new board member will be increased to $2,000 per new board member when it comes time to evaluate contract renewal.
4) Each budget request must use the Ventura Village request form or the Equitable engagement Form.
