The International Cultural Center (ICC) finance committee is looking for members to manage the expenditure and income of the ICC. The responsibilities of Finance Committee are as follows:
1. Formulate operating policies and procedures for the day-to-day accounting of expenditures and income for the ICC and its committees and staff as determined and approved by the Governing Board.
2. Implement the ICC budget including expenditure of all funds and income.
3. Establish an annual budget for the ICC to be approved by the Governing Board at the last meeting of the spring semester.
This would be great experience for any student wishing to pursue a career in finance. Also, this would be an excellent position for anyone wishing to run for Vice-President of Finance for the ICC next year.
