The University of West Florida Student Government Association hosted a budget presentation for campus organizations on Feb. 5 at 10:15 a.m. in the Building 21 Conference Center.
Finance chair Keldrick Averhart said the SGA finance committee looks at electronic copies of each organization’s reports and then have a question and answer session with the organizations.
“There are seven minutes of them speaking about their organizations and seven minutes of us doing question and answers,” Averhart said.
Organizations present in front of the Finance Committee included the Marketing and Logistics Association, the Society of Women Engineers, the Association of Information Systems and Students for Health Education and Promotion.
According to the SGA event calendar, 18 organizations were signed up on Feb. 5 to deliver budget presentations.
SGA Senate President Dwayne Manuel said this process happens every year.
“The budget process is a yearly thing that usually happens during the spring semester,” Manuel said. “The fiscal year starts July 1.”
Finance committee member Matthew Ferrer said the money comes from the A&S student’s fee.
“We’ll get together in deliberations a couple weeks from now,” Ferrer said. “We deliberate on how much they need to allocate and how much they deserve.”
Ferrer said they also look at the requests organizations have given as well as how much money they have put together as a club.
“We want to be fair and consistent with all the clubs,” he said.
Manuel said the committee receives recommendations as to how the money is distributed.
“It is mandated within our statutes that the finance committee gets a recommendation for the amount of money being allocated towards departments and student organizations,” he said.
Budget presentations will continue on Feb. 12 at 11 a.m. Seven student organizations are to present next Saturday.
