A Message from the Vice President of Budget and Finance

A big HELLO, and a HOWDY DOO, from the DASB Budget and Finance! This year is going to be one of the most productive ever! We have new projects lined up, and we plan on working with each and every one of our fellow students (that means you) in accomplishing our goals! Increasing our revenue to fund the programs that De Anza students love, is our primary motivation for the coming plans this year. If  YOU have any ideas to help our school, come over to the meetings and tell us. We LOVE to hear from you! So join us in this fantastic year ahead, and together we can label the 2008-2009 year as a year filled with fun and success!

What does the Budget and Finance Committee do?
Great Question! The function of the Budget and Finance Committee is to establish policies and procedures for budget development, budget approval and expending of all money under the control of the good old DASB! Instead of getting too technical, the following are the main duties of this committee:

• To process all the Budget Requests that come throughout the year from programs that DASB funds, and make appropriate suggestions to the Senate.
• To make sure that the program the DASB funds, follows the Stipulations (Rules and Regulations) set by the Budget and Finance committee
• To keep track of all DASB funds and accounts, and act in accordance withthe Budget and Finance Codes
• BUDGET DELIBERATION (THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL): Allocate funds for the programs for the coming year. This is a two-day process, in which the Budget and Finance committee will be deciding how much of the budget to allocate to each program 

What is the purpose of the ‘PROJECTS’ within Budget and Finance?

The DASB collects $$ A MILLION $$ dollar revenue per year. This revenue comes predominantly through the FLEA MARKET, and the DASB CARDS, to name a few. So the Budget and Finance committee, to make sure our revenues are always reaching the sky, propose ‘projects’ that can increase our million dollar budget further. With all that said, these are a few of the proposed projects for this year! Drum roll please:

Proposed Projects for 2008-2009

• DASB Card Promotions

We will be updating these throughout the year, and giving you a summary of the progress for each of these projects as well. So stay tuned for updates!

Thank you so much for your interest in the Budget and Finance Committee, and if you have ANY questions or concerns, please do contact us. We would LOVE to hear from you!

This is your VP of Budget & Finance Signing off :-)
