Funding
SOBAC
The Student Organization Budget and Appropriations Committee (SOBAC) is a joint initiative and responsibility between the Richmond College Student Government Association (RCSGA) and the Westhampton College Government Association (WCGA) that annually allocates funds to SOBAC approved organizations of the University in order to maximize the quality of student life.
Contingency
The contingency process is a process independently run by RCSGA and WCGA and is designed to support newly recognized groups as well as current organizations facing unanticipated expenses.

Resolutions
Resolutions may operate as an official statement of intent or a position that WCGA wants to officially establish, representative of the will of the entire body. WCGA adopted the practice as a way to document our efforts and hold each body accountable to their purpose and course of action as the body changes from year to year. Joint resolutions are sponsored by both government bodies.
You can find an archive of past resolutions here.
