How do we hire and pay for a speaker, DJ, entertainer, or workshop presenter?
A GMU Contract Packet is required at least 30 days in advance when hiring a presenter from outside the university. The Contract Packet contains a contract, W9 form and Independent Contractor Evaluation Form. Submit the completed Contract packet, proof of liability insurance, and a Check Request to Student Involvement as far in advance as possible, because approval from a university dean is required for these activities. Note: For contracts costing $2,000 or more, you must provide the same paperwork and you also must schedule a meeting with either the Assistant Director for Student Organizations or the Business Manager of Student Involvement at least 30 days in advance. An Event Evaluation Form must be submitted within 5 days after the event.
