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.
