Hi Everyone,
A few days ago we recieved a letter from the Staff Council Office with information to share with our units:
"At our April 7th Meeting, Staff Council agreed to work with Wellness Ambassadors to
present a letter and petition to the Administration addressing the potential
restructuring and reorganization of the Wellness Program if Phase II reductions must be carried out. The major concern was the possible loss of on campus, employee focused
exercise programs held during the lunch hour."
The letter was sent to members of the Administration on Friday April 17th with the petition. A copy is posted on the Staff Council webpage under the "Recent Updates" column.
That column also has the link to the President's Office website for the Interim Provost and Senior Vice President search. The promised CV's of the candidates are finally posted so you can get an idea of their experience and viewpoints.
The deadline (noon today) has passed for me to forward any of your questions for this group of candidates to the Staff Council Office, but if someone still has some input they feel is important, I'll certainly still try to get it in. Tough or honest questions are certainly acceptable, and we're expected to respect your privacy: unless the staff member directly asks to have their name included, I send only the questions themselves. This is an astonishing chance to have some input on this selection process--let's make the most of it that we can!
Well, the flowers are finally daring to show and we're looking at some suprisingly warm temperatures!
Enjoy the lovely weather this afternoon,
Joanne

April is National Poetry Month (and still rainy)
Hi Everyone,
The Staff Council website has been updated to fit the new template! Please take a look, and if you have any suggestions for changes or more information, feel free to contact the office and let them know what's needed.
The next Staff Council Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 7, from 12:05-1:30pm in the Livak Ballroom of the Davis Center. The agenda is accessible here on the website. Professor William Cats-Baril, Associate Professor in the School of Business Administration will be this month's guest speaker, on the topic of Consensus Building.
The April Staffline is out with a new line-up of interesting articles and discounts for the UVM community. Here's a link directly to the Staffline holdings, just in case you have any trouble with other links(please let the Council Office know if you find any that seem broken). We're exploring publishing the Staffline in a e-newsletter format that matches the new template: keep watching for more developments on this!
Well, nice weather or bad, the Spring flowers are making their way out to the daylight--try to stay dry and have a good weekend,
Joanne
