Business

The Business Team is primarily responsible for raising and managing the team's project budget. For 2005, that budget consisted of approximately $1,800,000 that came from over 350 corporate and individual sponsors.

For 2007, the opportunity for even better cells, coupled with a new vehicle design, have pushed the expected project budget to over $2,400,000. In dealing with the increased fundraising burden, the Business Team has increased its recruiting efforts across campus and within the Ross School of Business.

The Business Team also handles the creation and maintenance of the team's websites, Sponsorship Proposal Packet, the Solar Express (SolEx) team newsletter, Buy-a-Cell program, and our marketing and public relations.
