** URGENT: EPC is NOT accepting new requests until further notice. ** 

** We are currently resolving the outstanding reimbursement requests and establishing a new workflow. **

Goals:
The Equipment Purchase Committee has a discretionary budget for purchasing new (or used) equipment and maintaining existing equipment. This can include consumables as well as general maintenance items, but is __not intended for large purchases nor those that are easy to get buy-in from the membership for__. Those purchases should be made by the regular equipment purchasing/funding method where VHS will contribute a portion of the funds required and members will contribute the rest.
