It is the policy of the Georgia Division that any member of the
Georgia Division may submit a project for funding to the Project Committee for
consideration. Each project shall be considered by the date it was received
(established by post mark). Every project submitted must pass a legal, financial
& completeness review that will be performed by the Project Committee which
shall be established by Division Commander. Any Camp(s) or member (s) of the
Georgia Division may submit a request for the complete (100%) funding of a
project which is deemed beneficial to the Georgia Division as a whole. Camp(s)
or member(s) may submit a request for funding of local projects, only after the
Camp(s) or member(s) has raised at least (10%) ten percent of the total cost of
the project. No project will be considered for an amount less than $2,500, and
funding for Camp events do not qualify for funding from the tag funds.
Both the Georgia
Division Judge Advocate and Division Adjutant are mandatory members of the
Project Committee. The Project Committee will have (30) thirty days from the
date the project is submitted to complete its review. If the project does not
meet the approval criteria set forth by the Project Committee and the Georgia
Division Executive Council then the Committee must notify the member and /or
members submitting the project the reason or reasons why the project does not
meet the criteria and suggest a recommendation (if any) on how to bring the
project in compliance. Once the item or items identified as not meeting the
criteria have been modified, then the project can be formally resubmitted though
the review process again.
Once the project has been approved by the Project Committee then
the project will be presented to the Georgia Division Executive Council at their
next scheduled meeting or by email. The member and/or members submitting the
project or his spokesman may formally present the project to the Executive
Council. If no one is available to formally present the project to the Executive
Council then the Chairman of the Project Committee shall read or print via
e-mail the project’s description to the Executive Council for their
consideration. After the project has been formally presented to the Executive
Council at a regularly scheduled meeting, or by e-mail the Executive Council
shall vote to either recommend or not recommend the project to the Men of the
Georgia Division with comments. The project and its pertinent information along
with the recommendation vote from the Executive Council shall be printed in the
Georgia Confederate. Any projects that are still in the review process and have
not been voted on by the Executive Council by the last scheduled Executive
Council meeting before the Georgia Division annual reunion shall be retained for
consideration during the next fiscal year.
Regardless if the
project is voted recommended or not recommended by the Executive Council, the
project still has the opportunity to be considered by the Georgia Division
Delegates at reunion. Each project that has completed the review process and has
been formally voted on by the Executive Council shall be presented on a paper
ballot with all the other projects that have completed the review process and
has been formally voted on by the Executive Council in the order that they were
voted on by the Executive Council. Each project shall be listed by its title,
cost and the results of the Executive Councils vote. During Reunion, all
projects shall be presented to the Delegates in the order of the listing on the
paper ballot. The member and/or members submitting the project or their
spokesman shall Tag Revenue Standards and Policies Established by the Project
Committee for Project Funding from the Tag Revenue. 2 have (5) five minutes to
present the project and shall have the opportunity for (2) two additional
individuals to speak in favor of the project for (2) two minutes each. Also (3)
three other individuals may have the opportunity to speak against the project
with (2) two minutes each to speak, one between the individuals speaking in
favor of the project. Upon receipt of the paper ballet each Delegate can cast ˝
the votes or less of the total amount of projects on the project ballot that he
favors. In the case where there are an odd number of projects to be voted on the
number is rounded up to the next even number to determine the amount of Delegate
allowed votes. If a ballot has more than the allowed votes the ballot will be
disqualified.
The projects shall
receive funding in order of the highest percent of votes received from the
ballot vote. Projects that received over (40%) forty percent of the total
Delegate votes and there is not sufficient funds remaining to totally fund the
project and funding is available for a portion of the project, then the Finance
Committee will make the determination if funds in the Division reserve accounts
can be allocated to complete the funding for the project. If funds are not
available from the reserve accounts then the submitter of the project will be
given the option to obtain the additional funding required to totally fund the
project, if the submitter cannot obtain the funding then the project will
automatically roll-over to the following fiscal year Reunion's paper ballet for
consideration. All projects that receive more than (40%) forty percent of the
total Delegates vote and were unable to receive any funding, will automatically
roll-over to the following fiscal year Reunion's paper ballet for consideration.
All projects that receive less than (40%) forty percent of the total Delegate's
votes at Reunion
will require to be resubmitted through the review process again the next fiscal
year. Any member and/or members who submitted a project that received less than
(40%) forty percent of the Delegate’s votes and/or was unable to receive funding
due to funds not being available shall be so notified.
If there is enough
money to fund any projects that have gone through the review process and
received less than 40% of the total Delegate votes, the additional project or
projects may be approved by a vote of 75%of the Delegates in convention.
In the event that
the tag fund has a sufficient amount of money to fund all projects that have
gone through the review process and submitted to the Delegates at convention,
all the projects as a group may be approved by a vote of 75% of the Delegates
in convention.
