WE MONITOR NOT ONLY BUDGETED BUT ACTUAL REVENUES, AND HAVE ADJUSTED AND WILL CONTINUE TO ADJUST STAFFING AS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT THE FEES GENERATED FROM LEGAL SERVICES DO NOT EXCEED THE ASSOCIATION'S COSTS IN PROVIDING SUCH SERVICES TO ITS MEMBERSHIP. MTSBA ALSO HAS A POLICY OF SPECIFICALLY REFRAINING FROM DIRECTING OR REGULATING ANY LEGAL STAFF'S PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT IN RENDERING LEGAL SERVICES OF ANY KIND TO THE MEMBERSHIP.
