Closing Remarks/ Additional Planning

• 1. The unfinished annual budgets and SPRs were reviewed and discussed over email with the chair.
• 2. The tentative funding plan is to leave approx. $25,000 (out of a balance of $49,000) for Spring semester funding requests and distribute the rest in the Fall semester, approx. $24,000. Since over $22,000 was distributed in this funding cycle, we will distribute only approx. $2,000 in the December funding cycle.
• 3. The next GPSAFC meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Dec 6 from 6:30–8:30pm.
