Financial Management
The financial management of the Susanville Elks Lodge is conducted by the lodge treasurer in coordination with the board of trustees. The position of treasurer is voted on annually by the membership. The House Committee and Board of Trustees are responsible for preparing a consolidated annual budget for approval by the membership.

Risk Management
The Susanville Elks Lodge is prepared for a number of liabilities by ensuring the lodge building is as required by Grand Lodge Statutes. The local lodge maintains an emergency or restricted account that is accessed only in the case of an emergency. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Susanville Elks Lodge building has been attempting to recover from the devastating impact COVID-19 had on our local community.
