@Wingchee W Need to train someone to take over as Finance PM for S24
Note from Wingchee: Might wanna consider if we want to promote them to PM immediately. I can teach them the Finance WARG-specific stuff I learned throughout time

Will update AEAC Competition Budget if any new purchases or prospective purchases come up
EngSoc’s delayed reimbursement: Alison had not received reimbursement from the time she put in the request around mid Jan 2024. Hilus got back to us saying the reimbursement will be processed promptly.
