Hi I'm Bri and I've served as treasurer for Fall 2013. I chose the position because I enjoy math and dealing with figures. The position requires me to deal closely with the captains and talk to them about the group account. I make sure everything is balanced and I also have to keep very open communication with the SGA about our budget. Our funds are what help us to throw great shows and give back to the community. The types of figures I deal with mostly are fundraising money, general funds, and our philanthropy. Apparel is taken care of by our team captain since she is the one with the hook up! I love my position and I'm looking forward to Spring 2014 wooh!
