assembly, their first-ever attendance in
the national event: UAP METRO
CEBU CHAPTER, UAP CEBU
FORT SAN PEDRO CHAPTER,
UAP CLARK CHAPTER, UAP
MINDORO CHAPTER and the UAP
MALOLOS REPUBLIKA. This
month, a new international chapter,
the UAP OMAN CHAPTER will be
chartered.
Together, we've already begun to
build the foundation for confidence in
our financial system. The progress we
have achieved to date provides a
strong foundation
for the UAP to
pursue its aspirations
for the future. UAP
through our Nation-
al Budget, is com-
mitted to making
critical investments
in its membership
program, funding to
support vital nation-
al activities, official
local and interna-
tional representa-
tions, operations and
improvement of our
National Headquar-
ters – that will help
ensure the UAP’s
unparalleled excel-
lence over the
course of the Fiscal
Year. Our friends in the construction
community’s contributions remain at
the core of what enables us to drive
our mission, and for that we are ex-
tremely grateful. Our CONEX 2017
has already sold 70% of its more than
350 booths and our UAP Golf Cup
Tournament is working for the suc-
cess of the next tournament.
UAP has taken important steps to
manage our financial resources, by
enhancing financial and capital plan-
ning, exploring alternative revenue
sources, and establishing new finan-
cial practices and policies. This kind of
prudent financial management aims to
enable the UAP to begin investing
now in several strategic priorities that
will pay dividends in the future.
With a combination of constrained
resources and high aspirations, new
and ongoing UAP savings will require
trade-offs and judicious cost manage-
ment. To that end, we will continue to
explore opportunities to both enhance
our revenue streams and manage
expenses. We will continue to plan
carefully for today and tomorrow,
prioritize, make choices, and steward
our financial resources with great care
so that we can build on our historic
and continuing excellence in member-
22
ship, in our priority programs, in our 21-point
agenda. We are confident in the future health
and vigor of this great organization, and grateful
for the support of our community and our valu-
able sponsors and friends.
