As the Leadership Training Finance Administrator, your role is to oversee how finances are spent and to make sure all Reliant policies are followed. 

As you prepare for this role, please read (and share) the following linked pages below:

Please read through Event Finance Administrator before reading the specific Collegiate financial instructions below. This will help you set up finances for your LT summer program.

We also have a few additional reminders for those that are a finance administrator for Collegiate Leadership Training. You will need to decide if your event is going to use Event Advances (similar to petty cash- onsite event reimbursement refunds) or event fund reimbursements (where each field staff worker fills out reimbursement forms and turns it in to Reliant directly and then waits for it to be deposited into their account at the normal reimbursement deposit time). We suggest expense advances as there are many limitations to event fund reimbursements such as interns can not use the reimbursements and you have to wait for many weeks to receive the reimbursement back.
