The letter of agreement or contract will serve as proof of a legitimate expense if the organization is ever audited. When using segregated fees, a University Performance Contract or University Performance Rider is required to pay anyone. See the Contracts Using Segregated Fees Policy or contact the Student Organization Advising and Resources Office for details, time-line and suggestions on compensating a performer. Contracts take a minimum of 28 days to process . Failure to arrange for the proper contracts and associated University paperwork may result in legal action by the performer and the students involved being held personally liable for all financial obligations.
Timing is critical when developing publicity.
Make sure you start at least 30 days before the event. Any less time will be rushing things and will be less effective. The most effective publicity allows the reader to grasp all the important facts of the program quickly. Accordingly, promotional materials should bear a clearly printed message that is designed to evoke a response from the viewer. They do not necessarily have to be extremely artistic, but your message should be clear and understandable to the reader.
