PDR
Petitions, Delegations and Representations (PDR Requests)
Are you interested in attending a conference or competition?
Are you organizing a new club or organization on campus?
Are you trying to create an event, speaker series or conference on campus?
If you are a student or an organization wishing to request assistance or funding from the CMESA the PDR process is for you. PDRs allow students to present to the CMESA Board of Directors why they or their organization should receive funding for their initiative. Should the Board of Directors agree there is value provided to the students the CMESA governs and the proposed initiative they can award all or a portion of the requested sum from one of two lines of funding. The two lines of funding are for external funding, which is accessible by all students and organizations on campus, and internal, accessible only by students within the commerce program.
Should you or your organization be interested in pursuing the PDR Process please complete the following form and submit it to commerce@uoguelph.ca.
Forms must be filled out in full and returned to the CMESA for consideration at least two days prior to the Board of Directors Meeting at which the request is to be presented. Please ensure that the request is submitted at least two full weeks prior to the event.
The individual or a representative(s) from the organization requesting the PDR must be prepared to present at a CMESA Board of Directors meeting to accompany their application. Please ensure in addition to preparing a budget you are prepared to briefly touch upon:
- How much funding you are requesting
- What the funds are to be used for, and;
- How the funding opportunity will benefit themselves or Guelph Commerce and students as a whole
Should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the CMESA at commerce@uoguelph.ca or to stop by the CMESA office in MINS145 during office hours.
