"My philosophy is basically this: Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who you were with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason, whatsoever."
The Budget Oversight Committee (BOC) plays a crucial role in ensuring responsible and transparent financial management within our student government. As a team of dedicated individuals, we oversee budget allocation, monitor expenditures, and strive to maintain fiscal integrity across all committees and school. By carefully analyzing funding requests, assessing financial impacts, and aligning budget decisions with our strategic goals, BOC helps to optimize resource allocation for maximum benefit. Our commitment to upholding these standards empowers ASDVC to operate efficiently, support key initiatives for student body and achieve long-term financial sustainability.
Current Project
Purchase and Donation of a 12-passenger-van from ASDVC to Diablo Valley College for Student Life Office and ASDVC priority use.
ASDVC facilitated the purchase and donation of a 12-passenger van to Diablo Valley College to enhance transportation resources for the Student Life Office while prioritizing its availability for ASDVC-related activities. This initiative supports a wide range of uses, including student events, field trips, and outreach programs, providing greater accessibility and convenience for the campus community. By ensuring the van serves both the broader student body and ASDVC’s needs, this donation underscores ASDVC's dedication to improving campus life and fostering meaningful student engagement.
Past Projects
2025-2026 Student Representation Fee and Student Union Fee Budget Drafting and Projection
Developed the 2025-2026 budget drafts and projections for the Student Representation Fee and Student Union Fee. This process involved analyzing past expenditures, assessing current financial needs, and forecasting future requirements to ensure sustainable and effective resource allocation. The goal was to align the budgets with student priorities while maintaining transparency and accountability in financial planning. These budgets aim to support initiatives, programs, and services that enhance the overall student experience and campus engagement.
ASDVC Budget Code Amendment
Proposed and implemented amendments to the ASDVC Budget Code to enhance clarity, efficiency, and alignment with the organization’s financial goals. The amendments focused on updating procedures, redefining funding categories, and establishing more transparent guidelines for budget allocation and expenditure tracking. This process aimed to ensure that financial practices align with ASDVC's mission to support student initiatives while maintaining accountability and flexibility in managing resources. These changes contribute to a more effective and sustainable financial framework for ASDVC.
