UPSA Joint Board Meeting with Ingoing/Outgoing Board Members

Board members present were: Thelma Helyar, Susan Sloop, Eric Jeppesen, David Burge, Joe Potts, CJ Brune, Sandra Wick, Mark Nesbitt-Daly, Sally Hayden Thelma Simons, Kathryn Nemeth Tuttle and Pat Miller and Ola Faucher.

Sally Hayden gave the treasurer's report. UPSA had an ending balance of $340.00. UPSA spent $1,640.00 in stipends for conferences using the professional development funds available. Other areas of spending included newsletters, flyers and bookmarks. Sally anticipates the same budget to be allocated as this year.

We discussed potential speakers for the fall general meeting and Janet Marquia, the new public relations/lobbyist for the University was suggested. There was an overwhelming positive response to this suggestion. T

he incoming public relations representative suggested we update the website and use the list serve more often, possibly even for the distribution of the newsletter and the

Board Meeting minutes.

CJ Brune reminded us that the Board needed to appoint an UPSA representative to the Classified monthly meetings, which meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 10:30 - 12 noon. Kathryn Tuttle offered to alternate with someone else and was planning to attend the June meeting.

Ola Faucher gave the HR report and wanted to know if UPSA would decide to include post docs in the UPSA representation. Currently without post docs UPSA membership is approximately 500. This was for the new board to decide. Ola was going to find out how many UPSA staff are located at the other Regents Institutions so KU UPSA member designees could begin to meet annually with peer groups at Wichita State and other Board of Regents Institutions.

It was also suggested that UPSA distribute the UPSA brochure to legislators this next year.

Next meeting will be July 17th in the Kansas Room.
