Budget Model Panel Discussion

 

The UTSA campus community is invited to a panel discussion on incentive-based budget models from 1 to 3 p.m. on June 26 in BB 2.01.02., Richard Liu Auditorium. The event will be live streamed at the Durango Building 2.304 classroom.

 

The session—open to all staff, faculty and students—precedes the debut of UTSA’s new budget model pilot this fall. 

 

Hosted by the Finance and Budget Modeling Task Force, the panel features representatives from four universities that have experience with or are currently using incentive-based budgeting. Attendees can gain insights into lessons the panelists learned when implementing new budget models at their institutions along with the benefits incentive-based budgets provided to their universities.

 

Following a brief presentation from each panelist, attendees will be able to ask the panelists questions about their experiences with new budget processes. Prior to the event, questions may be submitted to budgettaskforce@utsa.edu.
