Subject:      Process Alignment Workgroup seeks bright ideas about Travel & Expense processes: due March 21, 2025

Dear colleagues:
The Process Alignment Workgroup (PAW) Travel & Expense (T&E) Taskforce members are hard at work reviewing processes to work toward aligning our system’s 34 colleges in common travel and expense practices.
The PAW Travel & Expense Taskforce pilot team welcomes ideas from travel administrators and any other college personnel who either travel or interact with the travel process on their campuses.
Get involved
Submit your thoughts anonymously or add contact information to receive a follow-up at the Bright Ideas: Travel & Expense Suggestion Box<https://forms.office.com/r/WvSbsD5B17>.
The deadline for input is March 21, 2025.
What is PAW?
The Process Alignment Workgroup (PAW) is a systemwide, college-led volunteer effort formed at the behest of WACTC presidents to create common ctcLink business processes in the three ctcLink pillars (Campus Solutions, Human Capital Management, and Finance).
PAW efforts are supported by SBCTC project management office and ctcLink team members, but no additional state or college funds or resources are available to offset these efforts.
Travel & Expense (including Travel Authorizations and Expense Reports) is the focus of the pilot taskforce.
