Budget Guide

The amount of funding we get is determined by MathSoc policy 4 (see http://www.mathsoc.uwaterloo.ca/pinkbook.php). In particular, the maximum amount of funding is proportional to the number of full members we have.

Recruitment and election funding

1.k).vi.v At the beginning of each term, a recognized Club is entitled to the following, over and above their budget proposal:
  1.k).vi.v.i. a fifty dollar ($50) budget for recruiting activities and
  1.k).vi.v.ii. a twenty dollar ($20) budget for elections
  Only expenditures deemed reasonable for their respective purposes, in the estimation of the Vice President, Finances, may be applied to the respective amounts.

In Winter 2008, we ran our first recruitment drive. We gave out 4 free pops to people who registered for the current term. In order to keep track of who was entitled to pops, we gave people red tickets (stored in the desk in the CSC).

We've noticed that people on co-op terms tend not to pay for membership during their co-op term. A suggestion is to allow people to sign-up for 2 terms at a price of $3.
