The table below indicates the numbers of invitations mailed on March
20/02, membership fees, and the estimated membership at the completion of
the initial launch of PHANA.
One
of the questions in the 1999-2000 questionnaire asked respondents to name a
maximum acceptable dollar value of annual fees. 30 (64%) of the 47
survey Helper/Counselor respondents answered this question. 10 (33%) of
the 30 gave a figure lower than $100; 20 (67%) gave a figure that was $100 or
higher. $107 was the average of all 30 responses to this question.
The figure $100 is therefore used as the membership fee for Helpers.
Pathwork
Helpers
The
1999-2000 survey questionnaire went out to 85 US and Canadian Helpers and
Counselors, only 47 of whom replied all in favor of forming PHANA.
It is plausible to interpret that a fair proportion of the non-responses
reflected a lack of enthusiasm for the creation of PHANA. At the same
time, some non-responses are attributable to normal survey difficulties, e.g.
people being too busy to take time to complete the survey, losing the survey
form, survey form sent to a non-current address, etc. These situations
cannot be estimated with any precision. All things considered, it is
assumed that the maximum number of Helpers in 1999 willing to join PHANA and
pay any level of fees was under 60.
The 117 Helpers on PHANAs invitation list
breaks down into two groups. The
first group comprises the 61 Helpers who are on one or more current Regional
lists, indicating that they are active, in good standing, and members of a
Region. It is estimated that 70%
(i.e. 43) of this group will join PHANA.
The second group comprises the remainder of the
117, i.e. 56. A number of these
Helpers have not been heard from for some time.
It is estimated that 20% (i.e. 11) of these Helpers will join PHANA.
All Apprentice Helpers on PHANA files are by definition on current
Regional lists as Regional members in good standing. It is estimated that 70% (i.e. 15) Apprentice Helpers will
join PHANA.
Budgetary
estimates are made for this period because it is the 12 months following
PHANA;s initial launch. For official financial recording and reporting
purposes, PHANA will use the same fiscal year as the Foundation: September 1
to August 31.

Revenue estimates are limited to membership fees received as a result of
PHANAs initial launch.
Depending upon decisions taken following the initial launch there are
prospects of raising PHANA revenues in late 2002 and early 2003 by proceeding
with successive launch steps.
For example, the potential exists to put together a PHANA program
serving all 13 ongoing Pathwork training programs in the US and Canada.
The program could be self-financing and paid for by a modest
contribution from each training program.
Additional membership fees would also be received as additional
membership categories are created and filled, for example Pathwork Counselors
and trainees.
It
is noted that the budget does not provide for any travel and accommodation
expenses. While it would be desirable to fund a meeting of the PHANA
Council, there are not sufficient funds in the initial budget for such a
meeting. Assuming a meeting for 10 people with two nights of
accommodation, the funding for such a meeting could be as much as $4810.
This is calculated as follows: Room
& board for 9 @
$180 = $1620; Air travel, cabs/shuttles for 9 @ $350 = $3150. These
figures assume that the meeting takes place on the home territory of 1 Council
member who therefore does not travel or need room. A figure of $40 board
is assumed for this member.
