And since I'm one of the ones that brought up the subject of finances I'll weigh in on this:
1) Since we are dealing with 10+ million dollars per year, a down to the penny account is asking a bit much. Breaking it down to around $100 on large expenditures and $10 on small would be more in line
2) An approximate cost of overhead expenses, including salaries, would not be out of line. Obviously, asking for the cost of every ream of paper or box of pens would be ridiculous in the general scope of things while travel costs paid for board members for official business would not be. As for travel and salaries, lumping all the salaries together is fine by me
3) How much is spent dealing with the government and how it is spent. This one is the one I think we really should be updated on, especially with the "drone" fiasco
4) how much is spent on member services and how it is spent. This covers insurance, newsletters, etc
