Budget Transformation Committees

To lead and support the Budget Transformation Initiative, two governance committees were charged in early 2026 to advance the work forward.

Governance Committees

Executive Budget Committee (EBC)

The Executive Budget Committee, or EBC, is responsible for final decision-making related to major budget levers, sequencing, implementation and alignment with institutional priorities, external obligations and the Next-Gen K-State strategic plan. The EBC is committed to timely, transparent and institutionally aligned outcomes.


Advisory Budget Committee (ABC)

The Advisory Budget Committee, or ABC, focuses on the development, testing and refinement of budget models and performance metrics; monitors implementation impacts; and provides data-informed recommendations to the EBC. Transparency, consistency and attention to major unit-level implications are central to this committee's charge.

 

Summer/Fall 2026 Working Groups

 

Spring 2026 ABC Sub-Committees

The Advisory Budget Committee establishes sub-committees to develop the mechanisms supporting individual budget levers and create implementation frameworks. Sub-committees submit their recommendations to the larger ABC group for review/approval to advance to EBC, and then EBC reviews for final decision.

 

Archived Planning Committees

During the Discovery/Planning phase of the initiative from September 2025-January 2026, the Budget Transformation Initiative was led by a senior leadership team and five functional working groups. The working groups identified opportunities within their areas of focus with an eye toward maximizing resource flexibility and utilization and made recommendations to align financial resources with our Next-Gen K-State strategic plan.
