Foundation Committees
The WSU Foundation Committees provide an organized structure to ensure that initiatives are performed effectively and efficiently to benefit students, faculty and the community.
Each Trustee is expected to serve on one of the standing committees of the Board, which meet periodically throughout the year.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee will work in alignment with the Foundation auditor to fulfill new audit requirements and avoid overlap of responsibilities and tasks.
This will serve to streamline functions and save money on the yearly audit.
Development Committee
The Development Committee reviews, evaluates, and recommends to WSUF leadership and the Board of Directors the actions, policies and procedures needed to ensure the Foundation assists with maintaining a comprehensive development program.
Finance Committee
The Finance Committee oversees and makes recommendations to the Executive Committee or Board in matters of finances, budget, investments, and reviews actions of the Treasurer.
The Finance Committee also serves as the Board of Directors for the subsidiary corporations, WSUF Aviation Resources and WSUF Housing LLC.
HOST Committee
The Hospitality, Orientation, Stewardship & Thankathon (HOST) Committee shall ensure that each new trustee is properly mentored. They identify opportunities for the trustees to interact on a social basis with other members of the WSU community and potential donors.
They will also identify and coordinate the program for each Board of Trustee meeting to further enrich trustee awareness of the many programs underway at the university and how the foundation can be of more help to those programs.
Scholarship Committee
The Scholarship Committee recommends the recipients of the scholarship funds administered by the Foundation where no other entity or body exists to select such recipients.
The committee is charged with authorizing new, or making amendments to existing, endowed and annual scholarships for the Foundation.
Special Projects Committee
The Special Projects Committee is responsible for initiating, encouraging, reviewing, and recommending programs and projects to be undertaken, supported or financed by the Foundation.
The committee is responsible for developing general guidelines and criteria for individuals or groups seeking special project funding.
