Our role is to review the non-personnel items for fall 2013 and identify where we might have funds to fulfill the requests then make recommendations to the President.<\/p>\n The committee agreed it would be best to work collectively on this project and to set aside a special meeting for this to take place. Also Sharyn asked if we could have a list of restricted budgets when we resume.<\/p>\n The special meeting agreed upon to review the \u201cResource Request Prioritization Worksheet for Non Personnel Items Fall 2013\u201d is for Thursday, February 27th at 1 p.m. in the HR conference room.<\/p>\n Respectfully submitted by:<\/p>\n Debbie Hegeman<\/p>\n 2014.02.13-BC-Minutes<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.02.13-Acct.-detail-provided-by-Fernando-Lara1<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.02.13-Budget-Update-distribution1<\/a><\/p>\n
