Business aspects of a team

[Donut]

Business to me is anything involving the financial or organisational part of the team (I would consider organising a fundraiser part of business for my team).

We have no sub-group to handle this; instead business is the job of the club officers (this is why we have 5 of them), the teacher sponsors, and any mentors willing to help.

Our parts are bought mainly by one of our mentors after the club decides on what is needed (we actually buy robot materials through one of our corporate sponsors, the mentor is the one that works with them to order everything). Other things the club pays for (spirit items, entry fees, etc.) are paid through school accounts so the officers and teachers meet to fill out the forms and then someone from the meeting turns it in to the administration. Fundraising and talking with sponsors is expected of everyone in the club, but the officers and teachers are usually the ones to organise fundraisers or to actually handle the donations from sponsors.

If anyone ever wants to help with this in our club they can, however their aren't too many members jumping up to help fill out paperwork and most of these other "behind the scenes" jobs.
