Finance Advisory (Institute)
Finance Advisory helps develop budget strawmen for SIRiiM as an Institute program. All seats are VACANT pending internal interest, Board slate review, and Clay Hess / Institute Board clearance. Institute Accounting is the authority for money movement. Finance Advisory has no bank authority.
Mission and controls
- Advise on meeting and program budgets with Institute Accounting.
- Explore membership dues assumptions with Membership; live billing remains HOLD.
- Research sponsorship possibilities internally; outside outreach remains HOLD.
- Keep all treasury work on the Institute path. There is no separate society bank account, EIN, or unauthorized payment link.
Seats (VACANT)
| Seat / workstream | Status |
|---|---|
| FIN Chair (Finance / Treasury Liaison may be ex officio) | VACANT |
| Meeting budget advisor | VACANT (1) |
| Membership dues advisor | VACANT (1) |
| Grants / sponsorship explore | VACANT (1; outreach HOLD) |
Planning target: 3–4 seats. Institute Accounting remains accountable for money movement and any future Anedot / nonprofit treasury path.
How bots work with seated people
Institute bots work with each seated person on ops, coordination, drafts, and tracking; humans retain scientific and governance judgment. The default is a committee-level bot liaison. Personal bots require a named person and Clay Hess clearance. No PHI. Outside outreach remains HOLD until Clay clears a named recipient and message.
Interest (internal)
Use the internal volunteer interest form: /governance/volunteer
Submit interest (internal) — no public application or seating claim is implied.
