- 5.14.26 Finance Committee Draft Minutes for Statewide Independent Living Council Finance Committee Meeting
Draft minutes of the May 14, 2026 Finance Committee meeting (about 1:00-1:45 PM, Zoom), chaired by Treasurer Annette Tashiro with Philip Ana and Executive Director Amanda Lowe. An extension has been filed for the Form 990. The committee reviewed the approved FY 2027 Resource Plan ($101,615, unchanged from FY 2025 and 2026) and identified areas needing increases: part-time contracted administrative support, inter-island travel for neighbor-island outreach and quarterly meetings, and out-of-state travel (currently unfunded) for NCIL, APRIL, and similar conferences at roughly $10,000 per conference. Members reached a preliminary view that reallocating within the approved total is a technical amendment while requesting additional funds is substantive. The meeting also covered SILC's Innovation & Expansion funding structure, office space and phone system needs, formalizing referrals using the centers' forms, beginning a fundraising process, and plans for a SILC annual report, with the next meeting set for June 11.
