89. HFHI GIK Initiative designed to: Leverage successful relationships between HFHI and donors like Dow, Whirlpool, Schneider Electric, Valspar and others Increase GIK use both from national and local GIK partners Focus on cost reductions GOALS: Reduce costs (cash outlays by affiliates) Generate unrestricted cash (With ReStore) [I will focus only on GIK for House production in this section – but recognize that GIK for ReStore is vital) National Affiliate Conference • No Hands But Yours
90. What’s changed since last conference? Economy Donations Down Increased demand for GIK National Affiliate Conference • No Hands But Yours
91. For Many National GIK Donors Still less than optimal utilization of GIK by affiliates: Many reasons for low utilization: Lack of Communications between HFHI and affiliates Affiliates not focused enough on cost reduction opportunities using GIK Overall planning and logistics, order entry system complexities Many smaller affiliates find utilizing GIK more difficult than large affiliate National Affiliate Conference • No Hands But Yours
93. Cash is top lineGIK is bottom line Bottom line with enhanced GIK–yields more families served!
94. If you are not focused on GIK and other cost reductions: It’s a symptom that the affiliate leadership (ED and Board) are missing a good opportunity
95. If you are focused on GIK and cost reduction: Your affiliate leadership knows its business and is a benchmark in the country. Too few affiliates are leaders in GIK in the U.S. today!

97. Affiliate leaders on this panel are benchmarks in the country in cost management and GIK leadership
