<Title>Positions Available -- SGA Senate and Finance Board</Title>
<Tagline>Apply for Senator and/or Senate/Finance Board Secretary</Tagline>

    <div>UMBC's nationally recognized Student Government Association is looking for students interested in making a difference on campus and beyond. <br>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you're looking to get more involved on campus, the SGA Senate and Finance Board are looking to fill some vacancies. The Senate is looking to fill two empty Senate seats, while both the Senate and the Finance Board are searching for a secretary for the 2013-2014 Academic Year.<br><br> </div>
    <div><p><span>The Senate is SGA’s engine for collecting ideas from students and turning them into campus change initiatives. Members meet weekly (Mondays at 5:30 p.m.) to discuss and develop initiatives, talk with campus
    administrators and take positions on issues. But most of the Senate’s work
    takes place between the weekly meetings. Members spend time talking with
    students, representing all undergraduates on university committees, meeting in
    project working groups and doing the follow-up needed to get initiatives off the
    ground.</span><span><br>
    <br>
    <span>The Finance Board is the branch of SGA that provides funds to support student organization activities: $200,000 this year. Most of the Finance Board’s work is done at weekly meetings, where student organization leaders present requests and Finance Board members ask questions and make decisions. These meetings, which take place Tuesdays starting at 5:30 p.m., can be both long and intense. Finance Board members have to wrestle with complex issues: applying university policies, striking a balance between supporting amazing events and stretching funds across the entire year, thinking about the precedent-setting impact of their decisions. But they have a lot of fun too, partly because it’s so
    interactive and engaging.</span></span></p></div>
    <div>The deadline to apply for these positions is <strong>5:00 p.m. on </strong><strong>Friday, August 9th.</strong>
    </div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><span>You can submit your application at:</span></div>
