Recently, the Office of the Vice President for Finance initiated a “Business Officers’ Forum” meeting to promote communication among the major business units of Emory University. It meets bimonthly and brings together over fifty business officers from the Emory community. This forum facilitates discussions regarding financial issues, operations, and other important information. Since the meetings are participatory and relevant, members are encouraged to use this as an avenue for the exchange of information and ideas.
