Mr. Schneeweiss explained these budgets are normally presented in the spring semester to the Board for approval.  Because he was on sabbatical leave, they fell through the cracks.

Ms. Taggart then shared a request from Ms. Michele Shelton for a display case for student organization awards.  This request was referred to the House Committee for consideration.

Ms. Taggart asked Board members to consider ways to publicize the Board.  This will be discussed at the next SUBOG meeting.  Mr. Stubbs, Ms. Ryan, and Ms. Fenwick will report.

Ms. Taggart announced that the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) Region 1 conference will take place October 24-26, 2003.  Board members interested in being part of our delegation should contact her.
