NESCAC + Boston Student Government Summit (Interest Form)
- Tufts is hosting a NESCAC + Boston Student Government Summit on Friday, March 22nd

Proposals
Proposal 2024–1: New SAFC Guidelines
- Danielle Lancaster, Chair of the SAFC
- Major amendments include:
- Kickoffs must occur before Fall Break and be submitted for in the spring
- Only $1500 of the kickoff costs will be covered before it comes out of their own budgets
- Regarding travel, only postseason ticket requests will be granted
- The covered hotel price rose from $119 to $200
- Alex: How often are these guidelines reviewed?
- Danielle: Every year
- Eisa: Many clubs experience leadership issues, including that their board is not fully formed before summer; can the SAFC better accommodate that?
- Kaya: Had this experience with Active Minds
- Danielle: If clubs need something like a $50 snack budget approved, can be done without the whole SAFC having met yet
- Paul: Adding a clause to SAFC guidelines saying clubs can request marginal sums of money before SAFC convenes may be beneficial, as would doing some outreach/information sessions in the spring
- Will make and go over small changes that reflect today’s conversation then vote next meeting (2/7)
