		+	I. Financial Information
		+	2006-2007 Expenditures Per Event
		+
		+	[[Image:Table1.jpg]]
		+
		+	In the past we have paid for the events from our own personal accounts, and then submit receipts for reimbursement to Mariann in 56-651. Reimbursement is via check and typically takes 1-2 weeks. Original, itemized receipts are required for reimbursement.
		+
		+	Remember that MIT is a tax-exempt organization. You cannot be reimbursed for any money you spend on tax, so make sure you take the tax-exempt certificate and information with you when you purchase supplies.
		+
		+	After the event, all expenses should be e-mailed to the treasurer for record keeping.
		+
		+	In 2006-2007, we got additional money for social events from the GSC chairs. This must be approved through the GSC in advance and all e-mails that go out to students about the event must state that the event is sponsored by GSC. No GSC funds may be used to purchase alcohol. In 2006-2007 this amount totaled $1000, all used for social events. Available funding is as follows: $250 per representative per semester who attends all general council meetings and an additional $250 for representatives who serve on institute committees. The reimbursement process for these expenses goes through GSC instead of Mariann and requires special paperwork.
		+
		+	II. Event Planning
		+	In 2006-2007, we aimed for one social event per month. Therefore, we scheduled TGIFs for months that did not have a department sponsored social events, such as the BE Retreat, Holiday Party or Fall Party.
		+
		+	MIT Event Registration: Some events that we have must be registered with MIT. This process takes a few days and MIT requires that the registration process be complete 5 days in advance. See more information at (http://web.mit.edu/infocenter/eventreg.html). There are two types of event registration forms, one for student groups and one for departments. Since our money comes for the department, you must use the departmental event registration form, which can be picked up in the information office in lobby 7. Events registered with MIT that have alcoholic beverages must have a sponsor for registration. The sponsor will need to sign a form stating that they will be present for the entire event and not drink alcoholic beverages. The sponsor cannot be a graduate student and must be an MIT affiliated staff member. In the past, Dan Darling, Erik Mallinson and Doug Lauffenburger have served as sponsors for our events. Even if you do not need a faculty/staff member for registration purposes, we try to approach individual faculty members and encourage them to attend the events.
		+
		+	There is storage space for BE Board related items in a closet in the computer room in the basement of building 26. There are some leftovers from previous social events and four boxes of wine glasses that were purchased for the 2007 IAP wine & cheese tasting. Ask the previous social chairs or the academic representatives for the code to the door.
		+
		+	Schering Plough has contacted us (via Linda Griffith in 2007) for the last two years offering to sponsor a TGIF for the department to award a Schering Plough Biotechnology Award to a graduate student. In 2007 the event included drinks and pizza from the R&D pub at the end of May, which they paid for directly via credit card. In 2007 our contact at Schering Plough was John Bowers <john.bowers@spcorp.com>.
		+
		+	III. Event Announcement
		+	We announce each event at least a week before, and send a second reminder e-mail the day before. Remember that be-list, be-students and be-postdocs are moderated lists, therefore emails must be approved before they go out. This has been quick during normal working hours, however it may be delayed on weekends and after hours. All social announcements were sent to: be-list@mit.edu, be-postdocs@mit.edu, be-mengstudents@mit.edu. If an e-mail needs to go out quickly to all students, send it to the respective class lists, which are not moderated (be-200X@mit.edu). Advertising for events cannot explicitly mention alcohol being served, but can indicate the need for ID, etc.
		+
		+	Also, new for 2007-2007, we would like to include a link to the BE Board webpage in all e-mails that go out to students. Additionally, the event should be added to the BE webpage via google calendar (see instructions in BE Board Internal documents).
		+
		+	IV. Additional Tasks
		+	In the past, the BE Board social chairs served on the event planning committee for the annual BE Retreat. However, this process may change for the 2007-2008 year.
		+
		+	The BE social chairs also serve on the planning committee for social events sponsored by the department. In 2006-2007, this included the fall party and the holiday party. However, an MIT staff member is typically in charge of the event.
		+
		+	We have also worked in the past in conjunction with the Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Council to put on a BBQ in early August.
		+
		+	It is also great to get pictures from BE Events and post them on the ‘Pictures’ section of the BE Board webpage.
