Internal Committees
The Associated Students of West Valley College shall exercise their right to create an internal committee wherever they see fit. Standing committees will include the Budget and Finance Committee, the Activities Committee, the Outreach Committee, and the Bylaws Committee.
The Budget & Finance Committee serves as the financial backbone of our student government, ensuring transparency, accountability, and strategic alignment in the use of student funds. Members of the committee actively oversee and provide input in the creation of tentative budgets, helping to shape financial plans that reflect the diverse needs and priorities of our campus community.
We carefully assess funding requests submitted by clubs, programs, and initiatives, balancing fiscal responsibility with opportunities to enhance student life and engagement. In addition, the committee takes a leadership role in maintaining and refining the financial code, proposing amendments that strengthen compliance, equity, and clarity in the allocation of resources. Through these efforts, the committee upholds both the integrity of the organization and the long-term sustainability of student activities.

The Activities Committee is where ideas come to life! Together, we brainstorm and plan events that bring our campus community together. We review budgets for each event to make sure our resources are used effectively, and we create opportunities for all students to get involved. This committee is also a welcoming space where students can share their ideas, collaborate with us, and help shape fun, engaging experiences on campus.
Committee Meetings
Time: Tuesday | 1:35 PM - 2:30 PM

This committee works to keep our governing documents clear, fair, and responsive, so that student government can best serve and represent all students.
