Ugandan North American Association (UNAA) Press Release UNAA San Diego 2014 Financial Report Full Report is available on the UNAA Website here Previous Reports are available here Dear UNAA Members,   We continued our march towards an unprecedented era of fiscal discipline and responsibility managing, against the odds to increase overall revenue from $218,320.01 in Dallas 2013 to $222,992.52 in San Diego 2014 and for a second year in a row paying all its bills on time.   Income:       Registrations Cruise Membership Sponsors Vendors T&I Total Rev. San Diego $131,472.52 $45,250.00 $4,020.00 $32,500.00 $6,950.00 $2,330.00 $222,992.52 Dallas $148,670.01 $0.00 $20,670.00 $35,000.00 $8,860.00 $1,620.00 $218,320.01 Philly $108,857.05 $25.850.00 $2,240.00 $22,420.00 $4,300.00 $1,350.00 $168,445.74   In San Diego, we invested significantly in security and entertainment, registration stayed about the same together with marketing.   The heavy investment in entertainment and security in San Diego was based on the experiences of Dallas and the San Diego delegates appreciated the much improved experience in these areas.   Selected Expenses:     Entertainment Marketing Registration Security San Diego $36,573.51 $12,129.07 $7,652.92 $8,362.50 Dallas $25,459.96 $11,266.85 $5,157.00 $3,485   UNAA Sponsorship remained relatively steady, decreasing slightly from $35,000 in Dallas to $32,500 in San Diego. Being a Non Election year, UNAA Memberships decreased from $20,670 to $4,020 in line with other Non-election year conventions. New Orleans is an election year convention so the numbers are expected to not just mirror but beat Dallas.   Also significantly, Dallas is landlocked and did not have a boat cruise; revenue from the boat cruise in San Diego was $45,250, beating Philadelphia 2012 which raised $25,850.00. New Orleans will have a boat cruise and the numbers are expected to mirror San Diego.   It should be noted that vendor prices were restructured for San Diego and prices reduced so while we had more vendors in SD, we collected more money achieving our aim of having a more vibrant atmosphere.  Ugandan North American Association (UNAA) Rebecca Namwase, CPA  Director of Finance
