Procard Usage
AL (Pres) and SB (Vice)
-SB (Vice): student life would charge us $100 each day that the procard is checked out and not returned at the assigned time. We are fortunate that Dawn works on this situation with us and makes it manageable. Paper work must be filled out by the individual who checked out the procard. If the procard is handed over to another SNA member for him or her to use, Dawn must be notified ASAP and that individual must also fill out his or her own paper work. The paper work must be brought to Dawn’s office by 5 p.m. that day so that it can be brought to administration.
-SZ (Treas): wants to make it clear that we are SNA and not the School of Nursing. Those are two different groups, with two different accounts. The amount of money that is spent on the procard must also be reported to her. It helps her keep track of how much we are spending and how much we have remaining. Just e-mailing the dollar amount and vendor will be sufficient for treasurer.

-AL (Pres): the receipt must be itemized and it is okay to tip the vendors.
On the back of the receipt, write UMKC SNA, DATE OF THE EVENT, ROOM NUMBER, WHAT THE EVENT WAS (ex: general meeting) AND THE NUMBER OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ATTENDED. The receipt is then brought to Dawn.
-SZ (Treas): we must follow rules because we don’t want to cause any problems. This is a serious problem and responsibility. It’s a right and we don’t want to lose that privilege. There are tax forms for both Missouri and Kansas. Bring the tax form you need according to where you will be purchasing the items.
