April Means Elections Time!

Our next SAFCS meeting on Wednesday April 11 from 12-1 PM in Klehm Hall 1418. This will be the second to the last SAFCS meeting we will have this year. We are also going to hold ELECTIONS that day for officers for next year. It will be informal, and we strongly encourage everyone to attend and apply for a position. Being an officer is a great resume builder and will help you build your professional experience.  


The positions include: President, Vice President, Secretary, Social/Fundraising Chair, and Service/Fundraising Chair!


The advisors, Graduate Assistant, and current SAFCS executive members will help you with any questions or concerns during your term if you are an officer. PLEASE think about this and attend the meeting. Also, keep in mind that SAFCS is a student organization for our department and is a great opportunity to be involved with. It is important to get involved and to show your future employers that you have stepped up and taken on a position. 


Our last SAFCS meeting will be Wednesday April 25 from 12-2 PM in Klehm Hall 1418!!

Minutes from March 27th Meeting

Our next meeting is APRIL 11th from 12-1pm (it's a Wednesday)!

If anyone is interested in running for an officer position please email bljones2@eiu.edu and Britney can let you know what positions are available. Taking on a leadership role through SAFCS looks good on a resume and is a lot of fun. You will not be alone as an officer because all of the officers work together to make SAFCS the best it can be. It is easy and a lot of fun. Please take an interest in running for an officer position!

If anyone interested in getting a V-Neck or Jersey t-shirt for SAFCS, please email Britney at bljones2@eiu.edu so she can get a total and we can figure out what style we will want. 

For our last meeting, which will be Wednesday, April 25 from 12-2pm, we will be asking that you bring in canned goods to donate to Brandy Barter who was our last guest speaker. The canned donations will go to a shelter.
