The responsibilities of the committee include planning and setting up of the event, registering and assisting companies, and assisting in the set up and break down of the event. This committee was designed to match up members with professionals in the business community. Its purpose is to allow members to gain an inside look at what the business world has to offer. Workshops, formal business outings, and social events are all a part of this rewarding and informative committee. This committee is focused on helping HBSA members become active participants in the Austin community.
Trips help expose members to the business environment.
To do this, HBSA must raise funds and budget them accordingly. This committee keeps accurate records of the organization's expenses, prepares monthly statements, maintains inventory control, allocates monies to all committees and plans and executes effective fundraisers. The overall purpose of HBSA 101 is to acclimate new members to HBSA and university life. This committee concentrates on providing new members with a better understanding of how HBSA functions as an organization in the hopes that they will remain members and pursues leadership positions in the organization. Emphasis will be placed on creating an open, friendly environment for new members to flourish in.
