In this latter capacity, the SAFC Chairperson directly oversees and manages the SAF Chief Financial Officer, the SAF ORF Director, and the SAF Outreach Coordinator. The SAFC Chairperson is also wholly responsible for the proper management of the Budgets and Concepts process, acting as the central coordinator between current and applicant Student Activity Fee Organizations and the Student Senate, as well assisting the SAF CFO in the overall allocation of the Student Activity Fee for the following fiscal year.

The Student Activity Fee (SAF) Chief Financial Officer is the primary point of contact between Student Activity Fee Organizations (SAFOs) and the Student Activity Fee Committee.

The CFO is responsible for properly utilizing the SAF and ensures no organizations spend beyond what is allocated to them through the budget approval process. The CFO works with organizations each year to craft their budgets for the next year and provides a recommended budget for each organization to the Committee.?Since the Chairperson cannot have an opinion during Committee meetings, the CFO is the primary voice of the Executive Board and guides decision-making within the body.
