Staff Association Updates

Good afternoon! We would like to share a few updates on Staff Association activity since our last meeting:

  • Our bylaws amendments all passed and the document was edited in July. The new bylaws files are now on our (older) wiki and the Staff Portal (login required). One quick way to know you are viewing the most recent document is the addition of (Revised July 2019) on the last page. If you see the file elsewhere, let us know and we will try to update it ASAP.
  • We are working on a draft update to our Operations and Procedures Manual. We started with the ad hoc committee’s 2018 suggestions and are now gathering comments from standing committee chairs. A draft will be ready for comments soon.
  • Our 2019 Nominating Committee is Robert Estep, Mira Greene, and Jun Qian. They will nominate four candidates for the two open Staff Association Executive Committee positions (2020-22).
  • Our next General Meeting is soon after Thanksgiving: Tuesday, December 3, 2019 at 1:00 pm in Kyle Morrow Room. It should be a quick meeting, and as usual we will have refreshments and treats. All Fondren staff are invited and encouraged to attend.
