Description Roles within Registered Student Organizations
FINANCIAL LIAISON
This student’s primary role will account for all financial aspects of the RSO. They will be responsible for:
Managing the RSO budget
Communicating with DOS liaison to make sure both parties are in agreement of RSO funds
Collecting all receipts and invoices and sending those to DOS liaison for reimbursement
o Note: Even if a student who is not the F.L. is in need of reimbursement, the F.L. is still responsible for making
sure the
DOS Liaison receives those receipts
Communicating with offices if receiving outside funds and making sure DOS liaison has fund transfer documents
Sending funding requests and/or funding amendments to SGA
COMMUNICATIONS LIAISON
This student’s primary role will be to have a pulse on the RSO and be able to answer questions about the RSO. They
will be responsible for:
Setting up quarterly meetings with DOS liaison
Communicating with DOS liaison about any potential or conflict
Communicating with Kristen if any conflict with the DOS liaison
should arise Sending DOS digest requests
Making room reservations in MyCrownSchool
STUDENT ORGANIZATION REPRESENTATIVE
This student’s primary role is to “show up.” They will be responsible for:
Attending general board meetings if no other student can attend.
Representing the RSO at student org fairs
Representing the RSO at meetings with Crown Family administration and/or alumni
Able to talk about the mission and values of the RSO with Crown Family and outside Crown Family community
Q. Can there be more than one of each of these roles?
A. Yes, except for the Financial Liaison. We understand the demands of being a Crown Family student and there may
need to be an additional person. However, there should be one main person identified. If for any reason the main
person leaves the organization or can no longer perform the duties of the position, the DOS liaison is to be notified of
which members will be performing those duties.
Q. Can the same student occupy more than 1 role?
A. The preference is no as each of these roles are distinct and created to ensure the ease and organizations of
Crown Family RSOs. However, we understand that students may leave Crown Family RSOs, and that it can be hard
to garner membership when starting a new one. We ask that if the same student is occupying more than 1 role, as
soon as another student can take over that role, they do so and the Crown Family RSO Application is updated to
reflect the change.
Thank you! Your application will be reviewed by the Office of the Dean of Students and SGA and you will receive
confirmation as soon as possible.
