Manager of the Year Nomination Form

Our Mission

"A Forum for issues relevant to managers in higher education & for supportive interactions among our members." A need for management training opportunities was also identified, leading to Interaction Management and establishment of a University training department within Human Resources.

UMA goals include expanding University support for training and finding ways to recognize university employees. Originally, UMA created and coordinated the annual Employee Appreciation Fair, over 5,000 employees attended annually. UMA benefits all campus managers by this being a voice for change on issues of widespread importance.

Organization:

The University Managers Association (UMA) was started in 1983 as a result of the first University Management Development Program classes, when participants met with several UNC managers to plan continued networking. A steering committee was formed from this group and the first UMA meeting was held September 14, 1983.
