Incoming Freshman
Emanuel Adhanom Region 1 Finance Chair for the 2006-2007 academic
year. Before you send out the packets, you need to send them to Emanuel
so that he can review and approve it. Also to make comments where
needed. At RLC, I will be giving a presentation about how to do solicitation,
and I have a Finance Chair manual that I will be giving out to chapters that
will help you go through the steps. There are also a list of companies
called the Board of Corporate Affiliates that you can't solicit money from,
and I can go over that with you as well.
