Dear Skålleagues
It has been my pleasure serving as your Skål International USA Vice President of Finance. I am seeking another two year term and am asking for your club’s vote of support.
The past year and a half have been extremely challenging. I administrated and co-authored the Active Member Dues Relief Program; that provided National and International dues for 174 Skålleagues. We co- authored the one time provision for Club reimbursement for attendance at the fall NCM in order to stimulate attendance at the first live Skål USA meeting in two years.
I have faithfully administered the duties of the office; and participated in planning the AGM/NCM in Orlando and the NCM in Chicago. I initiated periodic financial forecasts.
The past seven years as Vice President Finance and Auditor have afforded me the wonderful opportunity to not only serve my fellow Skålleagues but gain valuable exposure and insight, not only to the financial record keeping of Skål USA, but also to the operations and workings of the Executive Committee. I look forward to your support in order to continue to make contributions to our organization
I revised the Skål USA Manual of Instructions at the request of then President Holly Powers. This lengthy document was greatly reduced in size, then divided into two new documents: “The Executive Committee Manual of Instructions” and the “Skål Club Field Guide”.
At the local level, I have been extremely involved in Skål Tucson; I am honored to have been the Representative for multiple terms and President for four terms; 2014, 2015, 1989 and 1983. Additionally as a long-term Board member, I have planned monthly meeting and have prepared the annual budgets.
Professionally, the vast majority of my experience has been in Hotel Management, primarily as General Manager. My financial and audit experience includes: Interpretation of Financial Statements and Budgeting as a General Manager; Hotel Audits, and Feasibility Studies for a major accounting firm; and Budget and Cost Control Manger for a large restaurant chain.
I ask for your club’s support and favorable vote in order for me to continue serving our organization. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely yours,
Arthur Allis
