Membership

AB membership is open to all full-time BU undergraduates.  There is no start or end date for students to express interest in joining. Recruitment usually takes place at the middle of each semester.

Based on the breadth and depth of requests we receive, we look for interested and qualified students from across the university who are passionate about enriching campus life.  Members have the opportunity to gain experience in finance, budgeting, web design, public relations, etc. Programming experience (as in planning and executing on or off-campus programs) is a plus, but not required. We look for students who will embrace AB’s mission of equitable need-based funding for all clubs on campus.

Interested in becoming an AB member?

To be considered, we require candidates to:

  1. The interest form will become available during our enact recruitment period in the fall.
  2. Upon receiving and reviewing your interest form responses, we will invite you to 1-2 discussions where you’ll practice making funding decisions on sample funding requests. We’ll be evaluating you during these discussions on how well you can critically think about these funding requests and determine whether they subscribe to our Funding Guidelines. We strongly encourage you to ask questions and don’t be afraid to develop different motions of funding decisions.
  3. Based on your performance during these discussions, we will invite you to a final interview with the entire Board. We will ask you questions to judge your interest and also to test your existing knowledge of policies.

*** You can also email us at allocate@bu.edu indicating that you’re interested in joining.
