Approximately six years ago, SSO became an independently managed Society. Since that time the organization has grown and offers several best-in-class resources to members. The operational necessities required to maintain a productive Society were not overlooked in the Strategic Plan. Capital investments including an expanded office and new technologies including accounting system upgrades are in the works to ensure that delivery of member services and benefits continues to grow. SSO CEO, M. Eileen Widmer, CAE, CFRM, said, “There is a methodical and collaborative process in place with the SSO Finance Committee to ensure budget planning and capital investments are aligned with the Strategic Plan. While there are many initiatives in the three-year plan, sequencing the expenditures over the duration of the plan allows for ongoing assessment and fine tuning of operational and technological needs.”
SSO members can learn more about the Society’s operational plans by attending the next SSO Town Hall and Business meeting during SSO 2019 on Saturday, March 30, 2019.
