replaces the old rebate system in 2014.
 The New Resource Allocation Budget is the method that Chapters will use to
receive funds to operate the chapter, provide programs and services for
constituent organizations and apply for grants to augment the needs of the
constituents in their region.
 The CSB Planning session is the process that each US Lacrosse Chapter will
undergo with all of its constituent organizations , groups, leagues , townships ,
counties and or municipalities that require programmatic needs.
