UCI EMERITAE/I  ASSOCIATION  MINUTES

 

March 7, 2005    

 

 

  

 
Present:  
Justin Call, David Easton, Julian Feldman, Ronald Miller, Kivie Moldave,
Robert Montgomery, Lyman Porter, Lorie Reed, John Swett, and Jerome Tobis
 
The meeting was called to order by the Chair, Kivie Moldave, at 9:16 a.m.

                  
           

                       

I.           Minutes:     The February minutes were approved with deletion of the word "to" in the second line of the second paragraph on page 2.

II.         Treasurer’s Report:   Lorie Reed reported there is currently $1,932 in the foundation Account. This figure does not include the March event.

III.       Report of Program Committee:   John Swett announced that 24 reservations had been received for the luncheon to take place on March 8th. 

 

IV.       Report of Newsletter Editor:   Kivie Moldave reported that he would notify the Benefits Office to seek possible submission of information of interest to Emeritae/i prior to each newsletter. It was suggested that in the future the e-mail version be put in .pdf format, which would reproduce the printed version and be more attractive.  So far very few are using the e-mail version; Kivie Moldave stressed we should continue to remind people of it and encourage those who can to use it.

 

V.         Report of Awards Committee:   In the absence of Sam McCulloch, Awards Subcommittee Chair, Lorie Reed and Ron Miller presented two items for action: (1) following appropriate wordsmithing, the description of the UCIEA Mentorship Award and the Notice of Invitation for UCIEA Mentorship Award Nominations were approved and it was recommended that with appropriate administrative approval the announcement go to all potential mentees (faculty, postdoctoral students , and medical fellows) as soon as possible and with a deadline for nominations of April 20, 2005.
        (2) with  David Easton temporarily out of the room , he was unanimously approved as our nominee for the Panunzio award, and this recommendation is to be made to the Executive Vice Chancellor.

 
VI.       New business:   Moldave reported that the Office of the President is to assist in updating the list of all Emeritae/i.   Lyman Porter reminded the committee it was important that the new system (for indicating if dues had been paid) be kept up to date once implemented, so that the Newsletter would be correct when it was sent."

 

Old Business:     Kivie Moldave reported on the Faculty Welfare meeting. The University has contracted with Fidelity for that agency to be the master record keeper (hitherto a function of the Benefits office).  It was Kivie's understanding that this change is not in administrative responsibility but in bookkeeping, partially in response to complaints of lateness in posting fund progress.   Also, although the issue has not yet formally been taken up by the Welfare Committee, as a member Kivie has noted an upsurge in complaints about treatment of members of the campus community by our medical school (e.g. long waits, not getting reports, etc). A fairly lively discussion ensued.

Retirement Center Update:    Lyman Porter reported that the first round of applications for the Retirement Center position had not produced a successful candidate, but reposting and re-advertising has resulted in six applicants past the initial screening. May is the earliest date we might expect an appointment.

Membership Committee:  Ann Heiney's draft proposal of a"tiered contribution" dues notice, along with a method of indicating those who had paid already  (via an asterisk on the label) was discussed and approved with two suggestions: (1) Add "publication of the newsletter" to  the list of activities supported by dues and (2) this might be a good place to ask members to indicate events or activities they'd like to see happening.  Lyman Porter reminded the committee it was important that the new system be kept up to date once implemented, so the newsletter would be correct when it was sent.

 


The meeting was adjourned at 10:40.

The next meeting will be held on May 2, 2005

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted by Lorie Reed in place of Ron Miller
