Candidate Statement:
My name is Garima Sharma, and I am running for the position of
Vice President of Finance for our student government. As a
student who has been involved in student government before,
served on several committees, and is actively involved in various
clubs on campus, I understand the importance of effective
financial management and transparency in the student government.
If elected, my primary goal is to work with the student
government and university administration to create a more
user-friendly and efficient reimbursement process that meets the
needs of all clubs on campus. I know firsthand how frustrating
and time-consuming it can be for clubs to navigate the
reimbursement process, and I want to work towards streamlining
it.
I also recognize that different clubs have different financial
needs, and I want to increase the flexibility of the
documentation required for reimbursement. Additionally, I plan to
investigate the possibility of providing prepaid cards or
pro-cards to clubs for certain expenses. This would reduce the
burden on clubs to pay for expenses out of pocket and wait for
reimbursement.
Finally, I am committed to creating a more accessible breakdown
of expenditures for all Sac State students. I believe that
students have the right to know how their money is being spent.
I am excited about the possibility of serving our student
community and making a positive impact on campus. I am counting
on your vote for GARIMA SHARMA as the Vice President Of Finance.
