EACUBO Seeks Volunteers
The Eastern Association of College and University
Business Officers is a dynamic, active organization,
but one that exists without an office and without
permanent staff. What makes it work? The answer
is volunteers, people like you who serve as officers,
directors, and committee members. It’s that
time of year when we begin the search for new people
to join those already involved. The following describes
the various committees that seek new members and
gives a suggest as to what each does:
Annual Meeting Committee
(October 2005)
Responsible for the development of the Annual
Meeting sessions’ content and the identification
of high quality speakers, aimed at providing a cost-effective
professional development and networking opportunity
for the membership. Meeting logistics are outsourced
to MRA and Conferon.
Annual Workshop Committee
(March 2005)
Responsible for putting together the Annual Workshop
program, intended to provide insight into topics
of current interest for administrative and technical
staff from all colleges and universities. The committee
develops the program content, identifies the speakers,
and also deals with registration, marketing, and
audio-visual requirements. Hotel logistics are handled
by the EACUBO Site Coordinator.
Senior Business Officers Roundtable
(June 2005)
An intensive, interactive program in which a small
group of business officers are brought together
with other campus executives to discuss a particular
current issue important to the higher education
industry. The committee is responsible for selecting
the topic and the key facilitator. Hotel logistics
are handled by the EACUBO Site Coordinator.
Financial Review Committee
A two-member committee that is responsible for
performing the annual review of the financial records
and statements of the Association and reporting
their findings to the EACUBO Board.
Large Institutions Committee
The purpose of this committee is to ensure that
the programs and services offered meet the needs
of large colleges and universities through providing
input to the various program committees as well
as creating an informal network among large institutions
to promote the sharing of information, ideas, and
creative solutions to problems.
Small Institutions Committee
Primarily responsible for understanding and communicating
the special needs of the Association’s small
college members and assisting in the design of professional
development activities relevant to those colleges.
Two-Year College Committee
Responsible for understanding and communicating
the special needs of the Association’s two
year college members and assisting in the development
of professional development activities relevant
to those colleges.
Member Services Committee
Informs prospective members of the benefits of
membership in the Association by disseminating information
to colleges, universities, independent schools,
former business officers, and private firms eligible
for membership. Periodically survey the membership
on their needs, thoughts and ideas.
Area Programming Committee
In addition to the opportunities described above,
there are fourteen areas with the Eastern region
that have programming committees responsible for
developing and producing EACUBO’s one-day,
drive-in workshops. These area program committees
also seek additional members every year. Further
information about these committees can be found
through our web-site — www.eacubo.org.
