Subject: Workshop on Direct Vendor Payment

On September 26, 1996, Governor Wilson signed AB2613 which extended direct vendor payment to all CSU campuses effective January 1, 1997. In an effort to provide campus staff with a better understanding of the impact of this legislation, a workshop has been developed to assist the campuses for this transition. The workshop will cover many of the issues encountered by the three direct vendor payment pilot campuses. The workshop presenters will be staff from the pilot campuses, CSU Business Management System Cooperative, and the State Controller's Office. The workshop is scheduled for Thursday, November 7, 1996 and will be held at the San Jose South Campus in the Simpkins Center.

The workshop is designed for staff that will have responsibility for all or any part of processing payments for vendors. I encourage you to send your Accounting Officer, Accounts Payable Manager and the person responsible for system job submittals.

Attached is a registration form, campus map, and hotel information. The completed registration form with a check made payable to the Trustees of the CSU should be returned by Friday, October 25, 1996. If you have any questions pertaining to the workshop, please contact Ms. Silvia Barajas at (310) 951-4610.
