- Recommend specific actionable net revenue generating opportunities that are sustainable for ongoing financial impact, can support the core mission, and are compatible with the strategic plan and campus values.
- Recommend ideas that could result in significant savings through efficiencies, changed practices, and/or leveraging all funds to better support our mission.
