Treasurer’s
Report: Ruth
reported we have $3,616 in our account. Ruth is working on transferring
signature authority at the Credit Union to her from Jo Bell. She reported that
the audit committee suggested more detail in the budget which she will
implement. She noted that the $250
allocation to the Employee Forum for peer recognition had not been expended. Committee members indicated that the Employee
Forum did not seem interested in this contribution
Welcome:
Peter welcomed Verita Murrill (Verita_Murrill@unc.edu) who will now represent HR on the board.
The board also
discussed a number of the reasons for low attendance at programs. Ideas suggested: UMA members can be contacted for feedback via
a survey on the net or by a focus group- particularly at the UMA lunch
group. On-going feedback via a very few
questions might be solicited after each program.
Communications: Peter encouraged the board to
visit the site and commented how much more useful and fun it had become since Kathleen
Dulaney took over.
Task Force
for a Better Workplace: The report has been sent to
task force members. The monitoring committee is getting tired of all the work involved
in monitoring and disappointed in the lack of response to their repot.
Employee
Appreciation: Jan Blue will represent UMA on the committee.
Grievance
Committee: Lydia
and RJ have reported that the process seems to be working and some action steps
are underway.
