Fill out the club application as a club.
* It is highly recommended that each club have at least one planning meeting before filling out this application. Clubs
that talk through their officer responsibilities, regular meeting schedules, structure, goals, and purpose prior to
chartering have a much higher rate of long term success. If you need assistance identifying a meeting space for an initial
planning meeting, please contact clubs@columbiabasin.edu
or 509-542-4828.
Club Structure
Clubs are required to maintain the purpose and operational structure outlined in this application. If the club moves too
far from its original proposed structure or purpose, club funding or event approval may be denied or delayed.
Name of Club
(This will be the official name of the club for the whole academic year. Once this application is submitted, the
club
name cannot change.)
Club’s Purpose
The purpose your club lists will determine how your club will be allowed to spend its
funding. A college
approved version will also be used on the College’s website to describe the club for perspective members. Please be
thoughtful in your answer. For example… If your purpose is “to promote academic
success in chemistry by
coordinating chemistry study groups, providing tutoring sessions to struggling students, and coordinating entertainment
events to promote that science is fun,” these will be the items or areas in which you can spend your club funds. This may
also determine whether a new student wants to join your club.
What events, service projects, fundraisers, or travel do you anticipate doing this year?
Don’t worry. We are not holding you to these. We are just looking for your initial brainstorm.

Reserving Club Meeting Space & Meeting Requirements
Clubs must meet at least twice a month starting in November (if chartering in fall quarter) or February (if chartering in
winter quarter). In months with extended breaks (December, March, and June), the club can reduce their meetings to
once per month if needed. Minutes and attendance must be taken at all club meetings.
Your club advisor will need to fill out the 25live reservation for your meeting space. It can be found at
https://25live.collegenet.com/columbiabasin
. It does require Sign-In using a CBC username and password. A 25Live
reservation must be filled out prior to submitting this application for your regular club meetings.

ASCBC is not automatically notified if you change your 25live reservation. We rely on your club to let us know.
Please give the date the 25live reservation was submitted for your meetings: ________________ (mm/dd/yy)
Club Officers
President, Recording Officer, and Treasurer
Certain officer positions (President, Recording Officer, & Treasurer) or their equivalent -- are required
by ASCBC. The club president’s contact information must be included on this application. Traditionally,
the club president is elected by the club members during the previous academic year or during the initial
planning meeting prior to this application being submitted.
The recording officer is responsible for taking club minutes and attendance at every meeting and
providing them to the ASCBC Office, the club members, and the club advisor. The treasurer works closely
with the ASCBC Office and their club advisor to keep a running record of expenses and income on behalf
of the club. The recording officer and the treasurer can be appointed or elected by the club membership.
Club Council Representatives
Two student members will serve as the club council representatives. These two representatives will work as a
partnership to ensure club council meetings are attended and information is collected & dispersed to the club. These
club council representatives can play a dual role in the club such as President, Recording Officer, or Treasurer. It is
required that one of these representatives attends monthly Club Council meetings, preferably both representatives. If
the club does not have at least one of these two representatives in attendance, the club’s funds will be frozen until the
next meeting where attendance can be re-established. The club will also forfeit any club vote on items in which they
missed informative content.
Responsibilities of Club Council Representatives:
Attend all club council meetings & mandatory trainings as set forth by ASCBC
Will work in partnership with the other club council representative in their club to make sure meetings are
covered and all content is flowing back to the club.
Vote on behalf of the club when necessary, working as a partnership to cast one consistent vote.
Because the club is still forming, we are not asking you to name all of your officers on this application. You will submit
an eForm by November 1 with this information. Your club president and advisor will receive more correspondence
about this requirement.
Club Council Meetings
There will be an initial club council meeting on Tuesday, October 222. Your club president or advisor can represent the
club at this first meeting (if the club has not selected club council representatives yet). There are two time choices for
the meeting on October 222, 12:45 or 3:45 p.m. These meetings are held in the HUB Congress Room.
If you are chartering in winter quarter, please contact clubs@columbiabasin.edu
to inquire about the date and time of
your initial club council meeting in January.

Club Member List
At least nine (9) currently registered student names are required for club charter. However, if your club
roster exceeds
nine members, please submit a complete roster with all members listed. ASCBC needs only the club member’s name
and SID. However, the club should keep a separate list with name, SID, and contact information for their records.
Please do not use this list to solicit membership. You will need their contact information to stay in touch with your
members.

ASCBC is committed to accessibility. If there is a student in your club who needs special accommodations
during club meetings, club council meetings, at events, or for training. Please have that student request
accommodations from the CBC Resource Center. The Resource Center and the Club Advisor will work
together to appropriately accommodate the student’s needs.
