The core mission of OMB is to serve the President of the United States in implementing his/her vision across the Executive Branch. OMB is the largest component of the Executive Office of the President. It reports directly to the President and helps a wide range of executive departments and agencies across the Federal Government to implement the commitments and priorities of the President. As the implementation and enforcement arm of Presidential policy government-wide, OMB carries out its mission through five critical processes that are essential to the President`s ability to plan and implement his priorities across the Executive Branch: Budget development and execution, a significant government-wide process managed from the Executive Office of the President and a mechanism by which a President implements decisions, policies, priorities, and actions in all areas; Management — oversight of agency performance, Federal procurement, financial management, and information/IT (including paperwork reduction, privacy, and security); Coordination and review of all significant Federal regulations by executive agencies, to reflect Presidential priorities and to ensure that economic and other impacts are assessed as part of regulatory decision-making, along with review and assessment of information collection requests; Legislative clearance and coordination (review and clearance of all agency communications with Congress, including testimony and draft bills) to ensure consistency of agency legislative views and proposals with Presidential policy; and Executive Orders and Presidential Memoranda to agency heads and officials, the mechanisms by which the President directs specific government-wide actions by Executive Branch officials. Organizationally, OMB has offices devoted to the development and execution of the Federal Budget, various government-wide management portfolios, and OMB-wide functional responsibilities.
Student Association is the undergraduate student government at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. SA is coincidentally the largest student government in the SUNY system. Our Student Association is unique in that we are a pseudo-autonomous student government. We, the students, run our student government under the guidelines of our constitution, overseen by the SA Student Assembly and SA Senate. We are funded by the Mandatory Student Activity Fee, which students vote to continue, in a bi-annual referendum. The use of funds must follow SUNY Mandatory Student Activity Fee Guidelines and the allocation of funds is determined by the SA Senate. Services provided by the Student Association are for the students, by the student. The goal of the Student Association is to provide a better university experience of all undergraduate students by representing students to university administrators and advocate for their needs while providing an enjoyable and rewarding experience through limitless services, opportunities, events and club organizations.
