F) Presentations to the Board:i) National Investment Banking Competition –David Lam, Charles Wong, John
Sanden refer to handout- David Lam: 3rd year running this event, 4th year of involvement, Charles - media last year, internal this year, Josh marketing-Summary, what happened last year, highlights: very high level keynotes, the head of all the offices came, and lots of support of major banking- each year they’ve grown, started off with MacQuarie that wanted to recruit top students, next year was at UBC Campus, next year vision changed to be a national event: invited top school in Canada over 32 teams competed, Ivey won MBA, UBC won undergraduate there was a conference component added. Last year over 480 participants in preliminaries (130 teams), every major university was covered- adding this year, want to make the conference portion more than just workshops this year, want to add simulations: like a day in a trading firm for a new summer analyst, training courses, adding 2 more simulations for a total of 3- want to add more to pre-conference workshops, more support from professionals who want to share their insight
- Many testimonials, from people who have gained much from them, you get real life experience that can help land you a job
- Keynote speakers this year, CEO of public companies, it’s not just for those who are interested in working in investment banking
- Last year: Team Structure: Board of Advisors, Chair then Directors of Competition, Conference, Marketing; attending universities: lots, Attending Sponsors: Big Four came out; Panel and Speakers: highlights that its more than just investment banking, there are a diverse range of backgrounds; Judges: high level support for competition; Major highlights: we talked about different groups inside an investment bank, want happens during big finance moves like IPO…
- Competition: 4 month process, real hands on experience, eye opening for students, preliminary round (1 month) last year’s was Bauer, professionals grade each submission, top 25 were invited to come to Vancouver for the Competition held in conjunction with the Conference, assessed the company moving forward, strategic plan and pitch for the final round. RBC sponsors a networking event for the competitors,
- Last year marketing: had fb ads to target east coast schools, doubled the amount of teams that came out, increase in attendance
- THIS YEAR: trying to accomplish this year, giving students the opportunities with their job, connect with professional from all around the world, from HK, NY, Toronto. Trying to open doors for students. Too much stuff happening that is similar during the school year that’s why we’re doing more simulations that will be facilitated during the conference
- We have a board that we report to and advise us.- Team: new role Internal Director in charge of branding- Marketing: raising interest out East, partner with some schools from the States to
increase our exposure- Sponsors: reach out to media, broaden exposure- Competition: another evaluation exercise then a transaction exercise and still have the
support that we’ve built from the past, that’s why we’re competitive and unique- Benefit to Sauder students: put’s Sauder on the map as the premier Finance school,
builds a better foundation for students moving forward, they get more from being in Sauder
- We’re here to open doors to other than investment banking, things like hedge fund, equity management,
- A unique event that cannot be easily replicated, support from the industry and the people in it, who will come out, lots of alumni in the industry who are willing to come out and support this event
Questions:
- Last year: how much of the additions will be funded by sponsorshipo About 50%, about halfo We’re hoping for more
- Attendance goalso 400-450 people in attendance (total)
- What’s the different between universities and external:o Universities is the total number of external schools
o External are actual delegates- Is Sauder subsidizing?
o Hoping for the same, but not very optimistic (5 from shell, 5 from separate)- How many Sauder goal this year:
o 187-200 students for the conference, want more in competition as well- Is there a cap?
o There is a slight discount to CUS student and so those are limited, there are specific allocated for the CUS
o There is no limit for the competition, want the highest caliber students- 100K budget last year, 120k this year- What are the long term growth plans?
o This is the stabilization year, want to grow a little moreo Want more external, this raises the brand and reputationo Want a little more professionals to come out, have a good ratioo Not going to grow exponentially every year
- No money for team?o Yeah nothing right now, surplus rolls over and covers ito Finance Club covers business cards
- What’s the exposure of the CUS?o We’re not here to market the CUS, we’re here to market the studentso Professionals are excited about this pitch and appreciate the fact that students
are supporting this, recognized at the Gala- New additions are the States, no more growth in Canada?
o We have already targeted all major Canada finance schoolso Want more delegates from Eastern schools and some from the States
- Branding, maybe want more exposure on the website,o Want to put the banks first since there is lots of in-kind sponsorship but there are
other ways to make sure people are aware of the CUS’ sponsorship- When’s the asking going to stop increasing?
o This is a good year to things to stabilize, the event is going well, and can get replicated each year since the processes are in place
- Catering done through the hotel?o Yeah it has to be done, missing breakfast, dinner, we’re not here to provide food
for students- How are you ramping up the marketing for schools out East to get more numbers?
o Revamping the website, make it the face of NIBCo Social Media has limits, reaching critical mass and getting past delegates to raise
its profile within their schoolo Have connections ino Lots of Cold Calls to UGOS, BCCs, Finance Clubs across Canada Discussion:
- Proven conference, concern: Sauder (the school) should be contributing more to this, should be the school’s responsibility to help
- We should be on the brochure, maybe not top left since we don’t need to be that prominent(harm the brand)
o With marketing we can work around the branding of the CUS- There was nothing highlighted from the submitted budget that included last year
o There were inflationary cost (higher)o Need more room for the simulationso Good relationship with hotels
- Do we agree with the 10k addition? There was never a problem with the 30k, instead of lumping the 40k as a whole
- How would you go about getting more money from Sauder?o Takes times, go about it in a strategic wayo They pulled out of JDCW funding, so that shows reluctance, they already were
hesitant last yearo If there is a surplus, that would help
- If expansion to Eastern school, that’s where the increase (asking price) from so it’s hard to justify this
o The fixed costs are where monetary needs support the mosto Variable costs are covered by ticket revenueo If external students come, take up more capacity and more food. Their ticket
covers food, so it’s just the capacity- If this was a CUS-conference then this conference would be a major success- We also want to build the brand of the CUS,
o CUS students get a discount, recognized with they buy their ticketo Recognized at events
- More concerned with how the CUS branded- Actually think that it should be more Sauder brand on this event
o People know that this conference is being run by Sauder students- This makes the school looks better, and our duty is to help the students- I support the increase, and the following year then make sure there’s a closer- Think the Alumni department and MBAs should help out with the extra funding since it
helps them tooo MBA is not financed focused, they’re not going to get lots of the opportunitieso We’re presented to their classes but the interest just isn’t there from the student
- Funding went up, 30% increase from last year? What’s the % benefit?o {missed some stuff} lots of impact before and during
- Have you considered moving hotels to cut the cost?o Take into account catering, just one dinner during the event
- What would happen if you don’t get the increased funding?o Increased ticket prices across the board, want to have a national-wide distribution
- Is the relationship that we should be building or something for right now?o
- Somethingo We’re working hard on the support, not sure if it’s going to materializeo Pretty lean team 9-10 people,o Need the funding to book things
- In the past when the CUS has decided not to fund something then Sauder steps forward,
o Then the event is going to just going to add less value for students… is their viewpoint
o Resources are also a big support- The only thing we can compare it to, at this value is JDC West OC, this impacts more
schools and reaches more- Is it realistic that more Sauder students will come out with the time and monetary
constraints? Especially since JDC West is happening so soon.o In the past there’so There’s a difference between watching JDC W and participating in NIBC is a big
difference- This has an established brand and impact, if we’re funding up to 40,000, then that
doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen for sure, means that we support that

lowest paying execs; this isn’t direct compensation, lots of learning for each portfolio. More a whole team transition, 2 day, 2 nights. Try to find a location that hosts everyone. Bonding experience
○ Roundtable
■ Dependent on location and who goes (Jacky decides) having both really adds to the learning. Lots of benefits from the outgoing attending. Workshops for specific portfolios.

Introduc)on:
Detailed explana,ons and jus,fica,ons for the changes contained in the a7ached policy comparison documents will be
provided at the Board of Directors mee,ng. The whereas clauses contained in the policy mo,ons at the end of this
document highlight the primarily mo,va,ons behind these changes.
Notes:
These two documents are being registered as Policies No. 1 and 2 respec,vely; this feature, adapted from the policy
document format employed by the UBC Senate and Board of Governors for their own regulatory documents, is new to CUS
policies. It is based on the order in which policies are ini,ally approved, which should be reflected in the also new
“approval date” sec,on of the first-‐page header. Unfortunately, all such dates will be in some sense inaccurate in that
these policies were ini,ally approved many years ago, though the exact dates are unavailable and undeterminable from
recorded mee,ng minutes. Thus, all policies adjusted to this new format (from hereon-‐out, with the new format being
adopted for each policy upon its review and re-‐approval) will be considered “new” and numbering and da,ng will begin at
this point.
The comparison document format shows addi,ons in red and demonstrates the removal of content by a strikethrough.
Sec,ons in bold are typographical feature of certain policies as-‐is and do not represent edits.
• The deleted former headers and footers are not shown due to the difficulty of doing so while also featuring the new
such components in a way that is at all accurate to how they will appear in the final version of the files.
• The logo and other graphical elements of the new headers and footers are not shown in red, for the purpose of
maintaing aesthe,c integrity.
• For technical reasons, not all changes in numbering of bullets can be reflected within the comparison document
style. In some cases, list numbering may shiT upwards post-‐dele,on of content, whereas in others this has already
been adjusted for in this document.
• The page numbers displayed in the upper right-‐hand corner may be inaccurate once the document length is
reduced by the removal of currently striked-‐out content.
Proposed Policy Mo)ons:*
(1) Clubs Recogni5on and Affilia5on Policy
Whereas the CUS finds that the Industry and Non-‐Industry Club classifica5ons for CUS Recognized Clubs prohibit the
priori5za5on of resources to major contribu5ng associa5ons that do not correspond to a specific available op5on at
the Sauder School of Business
Whereas the phenomenon of Par5ally-‐Recognized Clubs as an ad-‐hoc designa5on demonstrates an ongoing need for the
existence of a formal recogni5on of a lower Recognized Club status in policy, including a clarifica5on of their afforded
benefits
Overview: Changes to the Commerce Undergraduate Society Clubs and Service Council Policies! Page 1 of 2
Whereas the dis5nc5on between the responsibili5es of the Board of Directors and Execu5ve Council requires a
formaliza5on of an appeals process heard only by the Board
Whereas the merits of an associa5on that has demonstrated its value to the student body through strong membership
should not be debated by a poli5cal body, and an automated non-‐arbitrary process of registra5on should exist for such
applicant clubs
... be it resolved that the CUS Board of Directors approve the changes to the Clubs Policy as presented for immediate
implementa5on
... be it further resolved that all CUS Industry and Non-‐Industry Clubs be automa5cally categorized under the new policy as
Cons5tuted Clubs, and that all Par5ally-‐Recognized Clubs be recategorized as Affiliated Clubs
... be it further resolved that the current Clubs Policy Extract be retracted and pulled from publica5on on the CUS website
immediately
(2) Service Council Policy
Whereas it is found that the CUS Service Council Policy, responsible primarily for ac5ng as a master reference for all Service
Council posi5ons, contains no poli5cal or regulatory content, and thus should be editable freely and without specific
direc5on by the Board of Directors upon changes to an Execu5ve’s porSolio
... be it resolved that the CUS Board of Directors approve the changes to the Service Council Policy as presented
* Note: each mo5on requires two-‐thirds approval to pass.
Prepared by Cole Leonoff, CUS Policy Director, for presenta,on to the CUS Board of Directors on August 15th, 2012.
Special thanks to Niloufar Keshmiri, interested Policy CommiWee member-‐at-‐large, Jacky Leung, CUS President, and
Enzo Woo, Chair of the Policy & Procedures CommiWee, for their consulta5on and assistance with reviewing the Clubs
Policy document and for devising and implemen5ng revisions.
