FLORIDA ENGINEERING SOCIETY
ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY (AP No. 46D)

The Florida Engineering Society recognizes the need of its practice sections to provide services for their membership and promulgate programs for the enhancement and betterment of professional recognition and status, conditions of employment, and other matters of mutual welfare.

Section 1

In order for practice sections to maintain services, the FES Board of Directors authorizes the practice sections to set their own dues, using their own rate structure, subject to the approval of the FES Board of Directors. These dues shall be a part of the mandatory dues section of the FES dues statement. Practice Section budgets will be submitted to the FES Board for approval as part of the yearly FES organization budget.

Section 2

A practice section wishing to provide a service or program to its members, and whose fund balance does not permit the necessary expenditures, may request that the Board of Directors or Executive Committee authorize a specific amount for its use. The written request shall contain a description of the program and an estimate of the amount of money needed to conduct the program. Upon approval of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee, the money will be transferred to the practice section fund to be used for the specific purpose requested. The practice section may or may not be obligated to repay the authorized monies expended.
