AEDAA Expense Policy:

Expenses will be covered for costs which support and progress the aims of AEDAA, for example and non-exhaustively:

Design and development of website and social media content
Advice linked to the promotion of the Association to increase its public presence
Administrative costs including domain name and Social Change Nest fees associated with the running of the Association
Travel costs for steering group members to attend essential meetings (whenever possible meetings will be held on line)

Expenses (all proposed expenditure) will be discussed and agreed collectively in steering group meetings and be in line with Association priorities and constitution. Discussion about expenditure will be documented in steering meeting notes to allow full accountability of how and why expenses were incurred and the process behind contracting any work on behalf of the Association. A valid receipt or invoice clearly showing the total amount, date, legal address, and what the payment is for will be uploaded for all invoices. Approval for payment must be made by two members of the steering committee.

Once the Association is established, additional areas of activity maybe developed e.g. running events, archival processes, grant applications etc. The expenses policy and budget plans will be reviewed and updated as necessary in consultation with the steering committee and where appropriate the wider membership. All income and expenditure will be available for public view via the Open Collective platform.
