Event Meetings with SABS
Organizations with SABS bank accounts MUST meet with a staff member to discuss in-person sales events. At this meeting, you will receive information about the supplies and equipment you will need to run a financially sound event and meet all University policies. Event meetings need to occur at least one week prior to the start of the event.
If your event involves a third party (ex. Blaze Pizza, Sweet Madeline's, Yankee Candle) and they are requesting a tax ID number, meet with SABS staff to request a W-9 form. In this scenario, the third party is collecting the funds directly and sending your organization a commissions check.
