SUGGEST A PROJECT
The STAA would like to support your ideas for projects, but the committee is made up of volunteers, so your help is needed to follow the proper procedure to turn your ideas into reality. If your idea needs (1) management time of unpaid committee members, (2) needs extra resources and help from member volunteers, (3) needs money which has to be agreed by the committee (any money), or (4) needs us to support or lead on a grant application or other agreement/contract - then please begin by filling in this EVENT, PROJECT OR PURCHASE PROPOSALS FORM and give it straight away to your local site rep who will get it to the committee asap.
Please be patient! For the best chance to get approval, in time to do your project, apply as early as you can, and if it's urgent, please tell your Site Rep because the committee always has a full schedule of priority official matters at every meeting. Your involvement in improving sites for everyone by developing project ideas, is much appreciated.
