Supplemental
Budget Requests
Supplemental Budget
requests are funds needed for a special project unknown at the
time of original budget process/request. They are not funds
requested in lieu of following the regular NACADA Project-Based
Budget process or additional guidelines implemented by one of
the Divisions within NACADA.
The
project director must request these funds through the appropriate
Division Representative and complete a Project Budget
Form (see above for link to form). Requests are made
to the Executive Office and require approval by the President
and Executive Director. Special situations may also be referred
to the Finance Committee.
Supplemental
Budget requests that seek travel money must first be approved
prior to the initiation of any travel arrangements.
The
Executive Director will notify the "requestor" of final
decision. All travel arrangements should be made at lowest
possible costs.
Budget
requests seeking midyear approval must be submitted to the Executive
Office at least 2 weeks before the midyear meeting to permit review
by the Finance Committee.
