EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING

JANUARY 24, 1994


Staff members in attendance were Mr. Tom Cochran and Miina Shukair.

SGA members present were Telvis Rich, Ron Jones, Julie Mickle, Kimbley Puckett, Sarah Dick, and John Chamblee.


Adam Goldstein, Hope Alexander, and Scott Taranto were absent.

 The meeting was called to order at 3: 10 p.m. by Telvis Rich.

Telvis brought up the budget regarding the SAC Conference in Atlanta. He informed us that we are over budget in the student travel area, and will have to ask for more money in order to attend the SAC Conference. We must come up with a proposal to justify why we need more money for this trip. Also, the committees should come up with what programs they may need money for so that we can go ahead and ask for it as well.


Telvis stressed the importance of committees gearing their meetings toward tangible issues for SGA to work on. He also reminded us that the committee chairs should have a typewritten report for each Senate meeting.


Telvis then brought up the issue of a new Treasurer. So far he has not had anyone show any interest in this position so he asked if there were any ideas for this position. Julie Mickle suggested that Julie Smithwick might be interested.


Telvis reminded us that tomorrow night's meeting is going to be in North PJ and that since Gwen O'Looney is coming to speak that all members should dress appropriately. He also informed us that Senate meeting times beginning next Tuesday will begin at 8:00 p.m.
