We will be working over the summer to work to make the disbursements a lot quicker. The executive officers will be updated the account access for the DASG email addresses. Things will change regarding the accounts for the 2024-2025 year. Will get the information to everyone by tomorrow, the instructions are basic with the way CS is doing them.
