Treasurer’s Report: Steve Weiss distributed the treasurer’s report. We have $4,991.

Document Storage: Since UMA does not have an office; there is no place for storage of chair and officer notebooks. Linda will check with the Employee Forum to find out if they can give UMA space for one file cabinet.

Communications: Peter’s committee has met once and has another meeting scheduled.

Professional Networking: Phill reported that the first two sessions went well but the third had to be postponed.

Nominating: Jo reported that the voting was successfully carried out by e-mail.

Membership: In Libby Evans’s absence, it was reported UMA has 171 paid members.

Morale and Recognition: Anne reported she would personally deliver gifts to outgoing board members.

Employee Appreciation: Rebecca reported that she has saved all details about arrangements for the special stress management program. She greatly regretted that budget cuts forced the program’s cancellation and encouraged the board to again try to hold the program. Peter will contact Tommy Griffin, Employee Forum Chair, to explore future steps including some possible combination of funds for an employee appreciation event. Forum funds might come from a chancellor’s fund over which the Forum has control.

Old business:

Speaker Appreciation Event. Last year Phill Lyons hosted, at his home, a reception for speakers in the Resources for Managers programs. Libby offered to host such an event this year. Board members liked the idea of hosting a similar event and agreed that the event should include speakers from all programs. An invitation should also be sent to the chancellor, Tommy Griffin, and Laurie Charest. Since Libby lives some distance from campus and Phill lives very close, and thus might attract more participation, it was suggested that Libby and Phill get together and decide who will host the reception and when it will be. Board members will be asked to supply food and drinks for the event.

Vice President: Peter deSaix
