What is the Honorary/Professional Society Council?
As you may have heard through the Lanthorn, MAX it Out, and other correspondence from the Student Senate, the Student Organization Funding process has been revised for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Rather than allocating annual budgets, the Senate has allocated funds to Student Organization Councils. This new procedure also provides funds for campus programming to selective membership organizations such as Honorary/Professional Societies, which did not have access to funds in the past.
Each Council will meet regularly and grant funds to member organizations on a program-by-program basis. The Honorary/Professional Society Council has been allocated $2,000 for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. The Council may also request additional funds from the Student Senate through the Reserve Request process.
It is understandable that some Presidents may not be able to attend scheduled Council meetings, however a student representative must attend. An organization may send multiple representatives, however a minimum of one student from each organization must attend. Each member organization will receive one vote on Council business. Please attendance is essential for organizations to receive funding from Student Senate.
Advisors may attend, however, a student must attend to represent the organization.

Updates and Opportunities
Any organization classified as "Honorary/Professional Society" is expected to participate. PLEASE NOTE: SOME ORGANIZATIONS WERE MOVED TO THIS CATEGORY BASED ON A REVIEW OF MISSION STATEMENTS. Our definition of “Honorary/Professional Society” is
"Organizations with selective membership practices for the purpose of either recognizing student achievement or providing fellowship for students with particular professional interests."
If you feel your organization is NOT selective in any way and should be placed in a different classification and Council, please discuss with Michelle Burke.
We appreciate your patience as these sweeping changes to the funding process are implemented. Please direct questions or concerns to Michelle Burke, Council Advisor at burkemi@gvsu.edu or 331-2358.
