SUBJECT:

Staff Employee Associations

This is a reminder that a number of Staff employee associations
have received official recognition at UCSD and we encourage their
activities and programs. These groups hold regular monthly
meetings and sponsor educational programs. Employees who wish to
participate in these association meetings and programs must obtain
supervisory approval in advance to do so.

The UCSD Staff Association and a variety of approved Staff
Affirmative Action Associations foster communication among
University entities, assist in the recruitment and
retention of a diversified workforce and pursue other goals
of mutual importance. For these reasons, I encourage all
supervisors to permit employees to attend the meetings and
programs of these associations as part of normal University
business, when their job responsibilities do not conflict with
their participation.

A list of all recognized staff employee affirmative action
associations may be obtained from the Staff Affirmative Action
Office.

Please post this notice and bring it to the attention of
supervisors, timekeepers and other appropriate department
personnel.
