Professional associations often have student-organized chapters on college campuses. Let’s say you are a member of a campus business club, such as the Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM), the American Marketing Association (AMA), the American Management Association (AMA), the Accounting Society (AS), the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), or the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP). Your club or association has managed its finances well, and therefore, it is able to fund monthly activities. However, membership dues are insufficient to cover any extras. You see the need for a special one-time seminar with a panel of experts or a keynote speaker that would benefit many business students. For example, you see value in inviting a panel of recruiters to come and discuss current job requirements and hiring processes. You must now request funding for this event.
