I would like to start this week’s article by congratulating Wilfred Burrows on being elected the 2009-2010 USGA President. Wilfred has done an amazing job in the role of USGA Vice President this year and I believe will continue to move this organization forward.

The student body also elected Heather Brown as the USGA Treasurer for the 2009-2010 year. The changes to the USGA constitution passed as well as all of the senator applicants.

I would like to wish the best of luck to the members of the USGA for next year. I’m sure you will all do an amazing job.

Also, in the USGA this week, we voted on the 2009-2010 budget at this Monday’s meeting, and passed the allocations made by the Budget Committee.

I want to publicly thank the members of the Budget Committee who worked for a combined ten hours to sift through all of the budget proposals and put together the budget allocations for USGA-recognized clubs and organizations next year. It is always a tremendous task and your dedication and persistence is not forgotten!
