SUBJECT:

UCSD Staff Associations

This is a reminder that a number of staff associations have received
official recognition at UCSD and I encourage and support their activities
and programs.

The UCSD Staff Associations listed below foster communication among
University entities, assist in the recruitment and retention of a
diversified work force, and pursue other goals of mutual importance. These
groups hold regular monthly meetings and sponsor educational programs.
Membership is open to all UCSD career and casual employees.

I encourage all supervisors to be flexible and 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. Employees who wish to participate in any of these
associations meetings and programs during scheduled work hours must obtain
supervisory approval in advance.

The currently recognized staff associations are as follows:

American Indian Faculty and Staff Association
Black Staff Association
Chicano/Latino Staff Association
Community Advocates for Disability Rights and Education
Pan-Asian Staff Association
UCSD Staff Association
Umbrella Group
Women's Caucus

More information may be obtained from the Human Resources Division of Equal
Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action at 534-3694, or via electronic mail to
parnett@ucsd.edu.

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