Important College Vote Needed – Round 7 Regional Joint Ventures – Deadline Tuesday, May 31
Recommendations regarding the funding of RJVs from Round 7 of the Regional SWP Fund are now ready for your review and your college’s vote.
The RJV Committee reviewed the 13 eligible proposals and recommended 7 for full or partial funding from the RJV Fund for a total commitment of $1,266,500. The RJV and Regional Priorities Committees recommend allocating the balance of $1,412,500 to the subregions. If the current recommendation is approved, the Regional Priorities Committee will return to the region with a recommendation for how to allocate the remaining funds to the subregions.
The funding recommendations are available here: RJV R7 Recommendations
Colleges are asked to consider the entire package of recommendations and vote to approve, approve with reservations, or disapprove the entire package. Nineteen (⅔) colleges must approve or approve with reservations for the package to be approved.
As is always the case, when the region is committing Regional SWP Funds, we ask that you consult with your college leadership prior to registering your vote. The deadline to vote is Tuesday, May 31, 2022. Votes can be edited at any time up until midnight on the 31st.

College Cost Sharing
The cost of several of the RJV’s is recommended to be shared with participating colleges. If the region approves the recommendations, the college share for an RJV will be redirected from the participating college’s R7 Regional SWP Direct-to-College allocation unless the college opts out of participating in the RJV. Instructions for all of this will be provided after the vote on the recommendations is completed.
Process
Volunteers were solicited from each of our 5 subregions to serve on the RJV Committee charged with reviewing the applications and making recommendations to the region. The Committee spent many hours reviewing proposals and met 3 times to develop their collective recommendations. The Regional Priorities Committee then reviewed and endorsed the recommendations and passed them along to the region for a vote. RJV Committee and Regional Priorities Committee Membership
