  1. Conduct the Registration Presentation

The Club Council Registration Presentation will take place during a Club Council general meeting.  Your club will be contacted by Club Council to schedule this presentation.  New student clubs will be asked to speak for roughly five minutes to provide Club Council with information such as affiliations with national or regional organizations.  This presentation will be followed by a short question and answer period.  At the conclusion of the Registration Presentation, your club will be a registered club at UAA and part of Club Council.

  1. Attend a Financial Management Training Session - every President and Treasurer is required to attend a financial management training session in order to have access to club funds.
