Annually: Dues constitute about $40K income. Fixed expenses are about $10K. 
Then we have various program expenses including communications, 
promotion/marketing, WiAC stipend sponsorship, mentorship, etc. LISA is our 
biggest conference and we spend less than $3K there, but we also have great 
support from volunteers and companies that donate items there, which helps.

As I was typing this, Steve chimed in (thanks!).

Also, I'm currently working up the 2014 actuals so we can use that in
nailing down the 2015 programs and budget. Mid-year 2014, we resolved debt
that had been hanging over the organization for some time. Since then,
we've had normal operational liabilities but no debt.

Are there any specific questions I can answer until I get the 2014 actuals
done?

Some sort of ballpark figures of what the ongoing expenses are and what the 
rough income is

We don't need exact numbers, +- a couple thousand are probably good enough to 
give us an idea of what's going on so the conversation can continue.

expanding on this, we know the org had ~$30k in the bank, but we don't know if 
that's a year's worth of income or a quarters. We don't know if this will fund 
the remaining expenses for 3 years or 3 weeks.

We don't know if 90% of the annual budget is spent on the conferences or if 
it's 5%

based on other numbers being thrown around, I could speculate, but it's better 
to get something with more grounding in reality :-)
