The meeting was called to order by Chair Lyman Porter at 9:15 am.

           

    I.    Minutes of November 4th meeting:  The minutes of the November meeting were approved.

 

   II.    Newsletter Report:   In the absence of Editor, John Swett, Porter reported that Swett thought that forming an editorial committee to assist the editor was a good idea.  Those offering to serve on such a committee are:  Renée and Judd Hubert and Myron Simon.  In-person meetings will probably not be necessary, as these members will be able to use electronic mail to communicate with the editor.

 

   III.   Treasurer’s Report:   Treasurer Kivie Moldave reported no further information on the previous balance of $2,321.48.   Chair Porter announced the receipt of $2,000 from the Executive Vice Chancellor’s office as the annual contribution from that office to UCIEA.  

 

   IV    Program Committee Report:  Stephens said she has already received several reservations for the holiday party scheduled for December 17th.   Arrangements are being completed for the next event, a talk by last year’s Panunzio winner, Ruth Kluger.  A tentative date is being reserved for the library of the University Club in mid January.   A notification is to be put into the mail to all members as well as an email notification.  An RSVP will be necessary to secure the correct number of attendees.

 

    V.    Retirees’ Association Report:   In the absence of Dennis Clark, Porter reported he and Clark will be meeting with Gail Brooks, Assistant Vice-Chancellor of Human Resources to talk about further progress of beginning an Emeritae/I – Retiree Center. 

 

   VI.    Brochure Review:   Schinzinger distributed a draft.  It was decided Executive Committee members should provide suggested wording changes, using the draft as a sample.  Schinzinger also indicated that the wording should be as general as possible, so that the brochure would not need frequent updating. Issues related to the description of membership qualifications were discussed, and it was decided that membership could be opened to individuals not related to UCI, at the discretion of the   Executive Committee.   The eligibility of librarians was discussed and tabled.

 

    VII.   Panunzio Award Committee:   Moldave reported he is collecting the necessary documents to be submitted on behalf of our nominee, Juan Villegas. 

 

  VIII.   Porter announced there would be no meeting of the executive committee in January, the next meeting will take place on February 3rd.    The meeting was adjourned at 10:20 whereupon the

Director of Development for the Chancellor’s Club, Mich Spann, joined the assembly to inform us of the current and future activities of the Chancellor’s Club.
