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.
