During the April 21st SGA Senate meeting the budget for the 2009-2010 school year was passed. The Student Finance Committee and the Student Senate made additional cuts to some student groups in an effort to trim down the budget. Entering the allocation process this year, the Student Finance Committee and the Senate faced the dilemma of seeing an increase in organizations and the amount requested, and no significant increase in the revenue sources that we had to allocate from. This has forced us to tighten our belts, and to cut back on some programs and initiatives that were funded in the past.
In this budget you will find across the board cuts in regards to conferences, uniforms, publicity, and food items. We strongly encourage all organizations to come back during the fall semester to request funding for those items that were cut from your budget, particularly for conferences. The first Student Finance Committee meeting will begin during the second week of school; check the http://lancer.longwood.edu/org/sga for more details.
We will also hold a meeting with all clubs and organizations early in the fall semester to explain the budget cuts, and some things to look out for during the upcoming school year in regards to the Student Finance Committee. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your budget, please email myself Cameron Patterson at sgapresident@live.longwood.edu or Executive Treasurer Shawn Fidler at sgatreasurer@live.longwood.edu. We would be more than happy to meet with you if necessary. Best of luck on your exams and enjoy your summer vacation.
Kind Regards,
