Ad-Hoc Committee on Membership Report

The Ad-Hoc Committee on Membership was created in response to growing concerns among members of the Allocations Board regarding many of the policies and procedures of the application process. The committee requested that all active members submit, in writing, any thoughts or suggestions they had about membership on the Board.  The report presented on April 9, 2007 represents recommendations to the Allocations Board.

Application for New Members

The Board is always looking for involved and dynamic individuals to add to the already vibrant mix of members.  However, spaces on the Board are limited.  Primarily, we look for students with programming experience and the passion to fulfill all the duties of being on the AB.  The first step in the application process (which takes at least 4 weeks from start to finish) is to fill out the application below and turn it in to an officer at a Board meeting.

Funding Handbook

The Allocations Board Handbook contains information and instructions regarding requesting funding and accessing funds.  It is also intended to:

  • Clarify the AB funding process
  • Provide reasoning behind the Board’s decisions
  • Aide Treasurers while dealing the AB
  • Present all of the AB’s functions in one comprehensive document

While Treasurers are not expected to memorize the Handbook, they should be well-acquainted with it before submitting funding requests.  The latest version of the Handbook is the version posted on this webpage.
