Treasurer's Report

The BJCP regularly releases new or updated resources to assist in all aspects of the BJCP. During the period of January 2013 to March 2014, the BJCP released 11 new or updated resources.

The BJCP Treasurer is responsible for an annual Financial Report that details the financial well-being of the BJCP, as well as documents the budget for the coming calendar and fiscal year. BJCP Treasurer Al Boyce compiled and published the 2013 BJCP Annual Financial Report, which was subsequently posted to the BJCP web site. The report highlights some key indicators on the growth of the program and where the BJCP Board is making investments to continue that growth in a sustainable manner. The BJCP Annual report, however, includes line by line explanations of the costs and rationale.

The Board has taken a number of recent actions to address overages and shortfalls and to budget according to the continued growth for 2014.
