More local businesses could accept purchase orders

The Research and Planning Committee of the SA will compile a list of business in Greater Binghamton area that are of use to student groups at Binghamton University. According to Assembly chair Elahd Bar-Shai, Vice President for Finance Matt Allwood would then initiate a publicity campaign to get those businesses to accept SA purchase orders, a line of credit with business that allows student groups to make purchases without an individual member laying out money. An updated list of local businesses that accept purchase orders will be available by the end of March.
