SUFAC Budget Conversations

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:50:51 +0000

SUFAC Budget Conversation

The Budget Conversations, previously known as budget hearings, will be held this upcoming weekend on March 3rd and 4th from 11am-7pm each day.

There is a sign up sheet posted on the door of the SGA office in Yellowjacket Union.
In previous years the hearings were in presentation form and a bit more formal and intimidating
than this year's SUFAC would like.

This year the budget conversations will be just that, conversations.

In meeting with us we hope to dialogue about your budget and learn more about your organization. The following things should be kept in mind when signing up to meet for the
conversations:
>> Bring a copy of your budget
>> Be early
>> There is no dress code, wear what you will
>> Don't be nervous

It is our goal to allocate as much to student organizations as possible with what limited
finances we have, and these conversations will hopefully help us to do so.

Thank You,

SUFAC
