THE GCSU PORTFOLIOS | LES PORTFOLIOS DE L'AÉCG

The GCSU's work is organized into various portfolios, each with a defined mandate.

FR----

Operations Portfolio

Manages the logistics and day-to-day functioning of union services. Acts as the internal backbone of the GCSU — ensuring that students who need help on campus are getting it, that office operations run smoothly, and that the union is accessible and functional.

Fr---

Finance Portfolio

Manages the GCSU's budget, tracks expenditures, coordinates with external auditors, and ensures financial reporting is accurate and timely. Every dollar that moves through the GCSU touches this portfolio. Fiscal discipline here is non-negotiable, particularly during our ongoing financial recovery.

Every piece of content that goes public flows through this portfolio.
